Our Missions
Our Missions focus on sharing the love of Christ locally and globally through service, compassion, and the spread of the Gospel.
YouthHope’s mission is to bring children and teens from low-income areas into a life-changing relationship with Christ through encouraging, equipping, and empowering them through Community Outreach, Youth Centers, and Camp Summit Programs.
CRU’s purpose is helping to fulfill the Great Commission in the power of the Holy Spirit by winning people to faith in Jesus Christ, building them in their faith and sending them to win and build others; and helping the Body of Christ do evangelism and discipleship.
