Mission: Equip Christian young adults in a solid biblical worldview and empower them to be leaders in transforming our culture for Christ.
Target audience: Christian young adults ranging from high school through college age. (Adults & mature middle schoolers welcome)
Motivation: • We are losing our youth to secularism at a higher rate than ever before in our nation’s history. Barna research has found that only 5% of Christian teenagers have a Biblical worldview. • The Council on Family Life did a study revealing that 88% of children raised in evangelical homes leave church at the age of 18 and do not return. • The next generation has been so influenced by post-modernism, which has progressively been woven into the fabric of our society, that they often cannot even decipher between a secular and Biblical worldview.
