Inside Out Youth Ministries Purpose:
IO Youth Ministries are committed to helping teens discover their identity in Jesus Christ and leading them to develop that relationship in such a way that equips and empowers them to be assertive and relevant in influencing their world; for the furtherance of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Inside Out Youth Ministries Vision:
We are a diverse but unified team of destiny seekers and world influencers being unashamed to bring God into our schools by way of our God-given abilities, authentic relationships, and true caring. We don’t just exist, but we get right into the world burning with the purposes of God changing the world from the Inside Out.

Inside Out Youth Ministries Mission:
We will uncover their potential through deep authentic relationships and then release that potential in all of its different forms in a way that is unified and relevant thereby impacting the world around us from the Inside Out.

Inside Out
Inside Out does not just talk about doing good things, they do them. From the first time that one walks into the place, they will recognize this is a place that is real and deals with real issues both in the natural and in the supernatural. There is such clarity of vision, purpose, and values there that it is a safe environment for all of the things inside of the seeker to manifest themselves in the form of destiny. We are a team of destiny diggers, mentors, and confident leaders. We challenge young people toward being truly spirit-led and make a real impact in the world around them that leaves a true mark in their wake. Inside Out is not a youth group; it is a movement toward the provoking, discovery, and release of the gifts, talents, and character of the life changers of this generation.

We have:

• Real Leadership, clear vision, mission, goals, commitment, action, correction, and support
• Bridge the gap between personal lives and ministry life
• Bridge the gap between vision and action
• Synergy and harmony between all of the different ministries
• Balanced, holistic, value-based approach

Congregation (Staff and Students)

• Congregation is committed toward coming together and relating to one another on natural and supernatural levels. They play together, worship together, and launch forth together. They recognize and appreciate the diversity of talent and ability represented around them and are committed to seeing not only theirs but other’s destiny conceived and realized in true and relevant ways.

Sent Forth (Students)
