What We Dream About

We dream of a ministry where students are...

God-Centered – God is our Center, and we want students to see that God is the one our lives orbit around.  We should love God with every fiber of our beings, as His heart and His fame are the desires of our hearts (Isaiah 26:8; Psalm 115:1).

Gospel-Saturated – Jesus is our Treasure, and we want students to know Jesus is the one who bore our penalty and death upon the cross so that we may live restored lives with God.  Following Jesus is worth whatever cost we may face in our lives (Matthew 13:44-46; Colossians 1:27).

Heavenly-Minded – Heaven is our Drive, and we want students to live selflessly in light of eternity as it pertains to their view of life, their possessions, their time, and their treasure, all the while living with the end goal of hearing, “well done, good and faithful servant” as they enter paradise (Matthew 25:14-30; Matthew 6:19-21).

Biblically-Grounded – The Bible is our Guide, and we want students to replace intuition with revelation, seeking to center their life upon the very breathed out word of God for wisdom and direction (Psalm 119:9-11, 143; 2 Timothy 3:14-17). 

Relationally-Connected – Relationships are our Focus, and we want students to desire and pursue a deep connection with people, which leads to both healthy friendships that “spur one another on toward love and good deeds” as well as sacrificially loving others (Hebrews 10:24; John 15:12-17).

Community-Based – The Church is our Model, and we want students to put others before themselves and use their spiritual gifts to serve and build up the Body of Christ in creative ways (1 Corinthians 12:11-12; Ephesians 4:11-16). 

Missionally-Driven – The World is our Goal, and we want students to make a commitment to spiritually-uncommitted people both in their circle of influence as well as those around the world by being actively involved in evangelism and mission (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8).
