Our Vision:
The Twickenham Youth Ministry is committed to helping students realize that God blesses His people with extravagant grace, so that they might extend His extravagant glory to all people groups on this planet. This basic truth permeates scripture from beginning to end, and it is our vision that every student would have this truth permeate their lives.
Our Mission:
|
The TYM is about experiencing three things—wonder, discovery and passion.
WONDER: I am created to pursue an authentic relationship with my Creator.
• Recognize. There’s more to life than what we can see with our eyes.
• Pursue. God initiated a relationship with us, and the Christian faith is learning how to pursue this relationship through spiritual disciplines.
• Follow. We’re invited not just to believe in Jesus, but to follow Him through faith.
DISCOVERY: I belong to Jesus Christ and define who I am by what He says.
• Made. I have been uniquely made to contribute to God’s world.
• Accepted. We are the loved sons and daughters of the perfect Father.
• Transformed. I am continually being changed by my growing relationship with God.
PASSION: I exist every day to demonstrate God’s love to a broken world.
• Restore. God allows us to participate with Him in restoring a broken world.
• Connect. We live in the complexity of relationships and the value God places on them.
• Serve. As the people of God, our lives are marked by our love for one another.
It is our mission to help students discover these three principles in the context of their personal relationship with God in a way that demonstrates their own authentic , growing relationship with Him. We hope to move them beyond information about God, to an actual experience with God—one that incites wonder, provokes discovery and fuels passion. We want to incite wonder in the heart of our students in such a way that compels him or her to discover who they are and their passion for extending God’s extravagant glory.
