Youth for Christ, Latham, New York

We are committed to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all young people and always seek to do so with urgency, using the most culturally acceptable presentations. We are further committed to provide a ministry of discipleship for each new believer, and to work in partnership with others who desire to accomplish the same mission. We are committed to the Word of God as the foundation and final authority for life and ministry. We discipline ourselves to study it diligently, apply it daily and teach its truth to young people. We believe the church is the expression of the body of Christ and are committed to work in partnership with the local church in fulfilling the Great Commission. Knowing the size and urgency of our task, we are committed to mobilize all available resources of young people, adults, prayer and finance to accomplish our mission. We are committed to a life of integrity through personal and organizational accountability in lifestyle, relationships, finances, ministry management and responsible evangelism.
