MIZPAH CHRISTIAN CHURCH

Statement of Faith

We believe in one holy, loving, all-powerful, and gracious God who exists in three Persons: Father (Creator), Son, and Holy Spirit.   (Matt 28:19, 1Tim 2:5-6)

We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, fully authoritative for all matters of faith and practice.  (2Tim 3:16, 2Peter 1:19-21)

We believe Jesus Christ, born of the virgin Mary, fully God and fully human, is both Lord and Savior.  (Matt 1:23)

We believe that Jesus Christ suffered and died on the cross for human sin, that He was raised bodily on the third day, and that He ascended to heaven and sits at the right hand of God.
(Acts 2:22-36)

We believe Jesus Christ will come again to judge the living and the dead and to reign over all things.  (John 5:24-30, Rev 19:13-16)

We believe in the Holy Spirit, who brings sinners to repentance and lives in them to conform them to the image of Jesus Christ.  (John 14:26, Rom 8:11-14, Eph 4:20-32)

We believe that Christians should gather in regular fellowship and live lives of faith.
(Matt 18:20, Phil 1:27)

We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (John 17:22-23)

We believe salvation comes not by works, but only by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ.  (2 Tim 1:8-9, Eph 2:8-9)

We believe in the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. (John 5: 28-29, 1Thes 4:16-17)

We believe baptism with water is a symbol of baptism with the Spirit, cleansing from sin, and commitment to Christ.  (Matt 3:11-17, John 3:3-5, Acts 2:38)

We believe the Lord’s Supper is a symbol of Christ’s broken body and shed blood, and is to be shared in remembrance and anticipation.  (Matt 26:26-29, Luke 22:15-20)

We believe Christianity is for all people.  God loves us and we are to love one another without judgment.  (1John 4:7-16)

We believe marriage is the union of one man and one woman. (Genesis 2:24, Matt 19:4-6).

PURPOSE:

Coordinate ministry to youth through either hands-on or delegated methods which establish, guide, and nurture a solid, ongoing Biblical foundation. This foundation should equip not only the youth, but also their families, in developing the appropriate Christian world view, lifestyle and personal relationship with Christ. The ECYM is a full-time ministerial position. He is responsible for all aspects of the youth ministries related to Nursery through Senior High, and for establishing a corporate and personal discipleship program for these age groups.

Foster a loving spirit among the church and community that appreciates youth and young adults. Promote the youth ministry programs within and outside the church, including our schools and community, as commanded in Matthew 28:18-20.

GOALS:

1. Build a youth program that is sound in doctrine.

2. Develop youth that have a desire to serve and have a concern for the lost, leading them toward a natural integration into the adult ministries of the church.

3. Establish a partnership with parents, helping them to disciple their children in their homes, by providing training, resources, events, and encouragement.

4. Develop a family-based youth ministry. This program will support parents in their responsibility of bringing up children “in the nurture and admonition of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:4). We believe it is important for young people to find a supportive group of their peers in the church. At the same time, we believe a truly biblical model of ministry will strengthen families and equip parents to be more effective in their work. We envision our young people developing a relationship with God and growing in spiritual maturity through the direct example of parents and other adult Christians involved in this ministry.

5. Help promote a feeling of “family” throughout the congregation by including all generations in activities (when possible and when conducive for “family” growth).

6. Develop and implement programs and activities designed to reach the unchurched young people in our community while teaching and encouraging the believing youth how to share their faith.

7. With the help of the Elders, develop and implement a Youth Mission Statement.

8. Recruit, develop, train and encourage volunteers to help implement and achieve the Youth Mission Statement.
