C24 is the Wednesday Night youth service which is specifically geared for 7th thru 12th grades.
My goal as Student Pastor of C24 is to open the word of God and speak faith in each student so when they step onto their campuses Thursday morning they will know God is directing them. We believe this is the generation who seeks God’s face. We will use every tool God has given us to challenge, equip, and send this generation into the fields we believe are ripe to harvest.
Our plan is three fold; WIN, BUILD, and SEND! We believe God has called us to WIN this generation blinded by sin, and separated from God. We teach sin is not an action but more a spirit most would call REBELLION. I often make the statement “we make things evil so we don’t have to admit we are evil”. God has called us to reach out and win this lost generation whose beliefs have become wrapped up in a god (stuff) instead of the GOD.
The second phase is BUILD. We follow salvation up with the word of God; unfortunately most young people are walking around today with “a pocket full of Jesus”. Many youth think their relationship with God is close enough to make heaven, but they stay far enough away from HIM to avoid conviction. We want to raise up a generation of World Changers who will run to the battle.
They have a passion to see their friends come to Christ and to have a first hand experience of a true relationship with the GOD, not just another religious experience.
The final stage is SEND. Churches are filled with people who are waiting to become good enough for God to use. What God wants are people who will make themselves available for HIM to use. While others are perfecting their Christianity, we are practicing ours; daily seeking to be the Salt and Light in the midst of darkness. We have found any light, no matter how weak or small will repel darkness. Our goal is not a kingdom of this world but to build HIS kingdom in the earth.
