To bring every Student into an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ and one another
Vision
WONDER: Every one of us has a desireto marvel. We are looking for something to amaze us, something to incitewonder. There’s a generation of students growing up in today’s church who aresomehow missing the wonder of who God really is and believing that He isn’t bigenough for their experiences.
DISCOVERY: Every person is wired foradventure. We are curious from the womb. We want to explore, to see somethingwe have never seen, something that helps us understand new things aboutourselves. Many students today never make the discovery of who they are inlight of God’s truth, and many feel that He isn’t relevant to their lives.
PASSION: Every one of us longs tomake a connection, to make a difference, to have intimacy, romance,companionship. Many students today fail to engage in a God-given passion tobecome authentically involved in the lives of others. They don’t feel He isreal enough for their relationships.
These three things ultimately affect everything we do. They pull at our hearts,drive our behavior and capture our imagination. They are the levers our culturepulls to move us emotionally—to appeal to our souls.
How to Fulfill the Vision
WONDER: I am created to pursue anauthentic 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 islearning how to pursue this relationship through spiritual disciplines. • Follow. We’re invited not just to believe in Jesus, but to follow Him throughfaith.
DISCOVERY: I belong to Jesus Christand 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 withGod.
PASSION: I exist every day todemonstrate 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 placeson them. • Serve. As the people of God, our lives are marked by our love for oneanother.
