Youth Ministry Presenting Students Mature in Christ Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. - Col 1:28 Maturity in Christ means Christlikeness. We value Christlikeness in all areas of life which we've summed up in four words: Humility : "It's not about me." We are dedicated to teaching students to deny themselves, pick up their cross daily, and follow Jesus. (Philippians 2:1-11) Hospitality : "It's about them." We are dedicated to teaching students to behave in such a way that every stranger can be treated like a neighbor. (Luke 10:25-37) Love: "It's about 'us'." We are dedicated to teaching students to think with a "we first" mentality, not a "me first" mentality. To participate in youth group and to encourage others before trying to be encouraged themselves. (John 13:34) Devotion: "It's about Him." We are dedicated to teaching students not merely about God, but to know God and how to seek Him out for the rest of their lives. Our goal is not to just give information about God, but to build lifelong disciples.

The word catechism comes from a Greek term meaning "to instruct" or "to teach," and that’s exactly what we’ll be doing! Each week, students will explore key questions about faith, memorize foundational truths, and engage in meaningful discussions. Through this interactive approach, they’ll build a strong understanding of what we believe and why it matters. Join us as we grow together in faith, knowledge, and spiritual maturity!

Our Global Workers Reaching Ayutthaya SIM (Serving in Missions) - Ayutthaya Team Mission Focus SIM Thailand’s vision is “By faith we see the unreached of Thailand authentically responding to the Gospel and being discipled into biblically-based, community transforming churches that engage in mission.” With this vision, SIM Thailand started a team in Ayutthaya, Thailand. SIM Ayutthaya is a multi-cultural and multi-skilled team. Members come from different countries and cultures but are united by their response to the Great Commission. The team is currently focused in four main core ministries: Hope for Life (Ministry to the Underprivileged), Santisuk Church (Church Planting Ministry), AUR Community (University Students Ministry) and Joyful Heart Bilingual House (Language Teaching Ministry). Reaching Ayutthaya Ayutthaya is a city in Thailand that is 0.5% Christian. The SIM mission in Ayutthaya seeks to reach out to its neighbors in a variety of ways: Hope for Life: This program includes English and life skill classes for children in the schools and on the temple grounds, as well as home visits to families. Joyful Heart Bilingual House: These tuition-based language classes teach English and Mandarin in a structured setting. This enables the mission to reach a segment of the population who are more educated and/or financially able. In order to serve the Thai people well, the staff are dedicated to improving their Thai language skills. This allows them to be effective communicators with those that they are trying to reach. Additionally, understanding the Thai culture is vitally important to interacting well to build credibility and trust with those they seek to serve. Church planting: Santisuk Church - A pastor and his wife work diligently to shepherd their small flock and draw others in. Serving in local churches: The staff and global workers of the Ayutthaya team split up to attend four different local churches. Their goal is to become giving and serving members of these churches. By dividing up among different churches, they are able to build relationships between churches and to strengthen the church overall in Ayutthaya. AUR Community (University Students Ministry): ministry to University Students. Back to Global Workers

STATEMENT OF FAITH Statement of Faith 1. We believe the sixty-six books of the Bible to be the only inspired, authoritative Word of God, inerrant in the original manuscripts. (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21) 2. We believe that there is one God , the Creator, eternally existent in three Persons–Father, Son and Holy Spirit–each having the same essence and attributes. (2 Corinthians 13:14; Matthew 28:19) 3. We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man in indivisible union. We believe in His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary atonement through His shed blood, His death and bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His future bodily return in power and glory. (John 1:1,14; Philippians 2:6-8; 1 Timothy 3:16; Revelation 19:11-16; I Corinthians 15:1-8) 4. We believe the Holy Spirit convicts of sin, regenerates, indwells, baptizes and seals all believers at the moment of their salvation, filling them as they yield to Him with the goal of conforming them to the image of Christ. (Titus 3:5; 1 Corinthians 3:16, 12:13; Ephesians 1:13, 5:18) 5. We believe salvation is a gift of God received through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone and His sacrifice for sin. We believe that a person is justified by grace through faith apart from works and that all true believers have eternal life. Saving faith includes repentance, which is a change of mind about sin and the need for Jesus as Savior. (Ephesians 2:8-9; John 3:16; I John 5:10-13; Mark 1:15) 6. We believe that the true Church is composed of all such persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the Body of Christ of which He is the Head. (Colossians 1:18; Ephesians 1:22-23, 2:19-22) 7. We believe that water baptism and the *Lord’s Supper are ordinances to be observed by the Church during the present age. They are, however, not to be regarded as means of salvation. (Acts 8:12; 1 Corinthians 11:23-28) 8. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead, of the believer to everlasting glory in heaven with God and the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment in hell apart from God. (2 Thessalonians 1:9; Revelation 22:3-5, 20:15; Daniel 12:2) *Communion is open to all who have trusted Christ as Savior whether members of Grace or not and is observed on the first Sunday of each month.

Our Global Workers Solomon and Ruby Kendagor International Broadcasting and Discipling Mission Focus Our Mission focus is in three areas: A. Evangelism. B. Leadership (Both Church and Government). C. Marriage and Family. We accomplish these areas of ministry through: A. Two Radio and TV stations; B. Social Media like Facebook. We are in over 50 countries. Our listeners increased by 502% to 63,781 in the last month according to Facebook. Testimony Solomon's Testimony Solomon came to know Christ at the age of 9 through his parents’ ministry and family devotions. Parents were Kenyan Missionaries who left everything to serve God and live by faith, trusting the Lord for every need. Parents emphasized the importance of personal time with God for everyone in the family. During family devotion everybody was expected to share what he or she learned during personal devotion. Children learned from early age to have personal devotion, pray and trust God for every need. Solomon, however, planned to make money and give as others served the Lord and live by faith. During high school he struggled about God’s will for his life. God made it clear that he was interested in Solomon’s heart not his money. He finally surrendered to God’s purpose and God began to work in his heart. Solomon ended up in full time ministry and continues to serve with joy. Ruby's Testimony Abandoned by parents at about a month old, Ruby was raised in an orphanage with close to 500 children. Life was difficult at the orphanage and Ruby longed to know about her parents. When she was 14, a letter from her dad in Canada arrived saying her mother was dead. Ironically, another letter arrived the following day from her mom in Barbados introducing herself to her. Neither of the parents wrote to her again. At age 16 she had to leave the orphanage to work as a maid, first for a Chinese family for a year and a half and later for a Muslim family. The Evangelical Alliance Mission arrived and rented property from the Muslim family. Through their ministry, Ruby came to faith in Christ. She finally met her father at the age of 19 and her mother at the age of 23. Both became believers through her testimony. Back to Global Workers

December Goal: Reflect on this year’s 11 challenges and design a personal goal for December. Overview: As we close out the year, take time to reflect on the journey so far: What challenge grew you the most? What stretched you or pushed you out of your comfort zone? Why was it so hard, and what did you learn? Using your reflections, create a goal for December that builds on what God has already started in your life this year. Make it something meaningful, achievable, and uniquely tailored to your own growth. Examples of Personal Goals: Commit to praying daily for someone in your life. Dedicate time each week to serve your community or someone in need. Focus on deepening your understanding of a specific Scripture passage or theme. Revisit a past challenge and try it again with renewed energy. Write your goal down and pray over it. Consider sharing it with a friend or family member who can encourage and support you as you finish the year strong, keeping your eyes on Jesus. "Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:13-14

Zambia: Global Training Network Who: Frank McEachron will be making this trip alone. (Not excepting applications) What: On this trip, we will teach a one-week course in Pneumatology (study of the Holy Spirit) with review of Bible study methods and Biblical preaching using a tested GTN curriculum. When: May 9 - May 18 Where: Chongwe, Zambia (central Africa) Why: Though Zambia is majority protestant Christian, many pastors, particularly in outlying areas, have no formal Biblical training. The presence of diverse unbiblical beliefs and heresies makes it difficult for pastors to effectively shepherd their congregations. DONATE NOW!
