Youth with a Mission is an international movement of Christians from many denominations dedicated to presenting Jesus Christ personally to this generation, to mobilizing as many possible to help in this task, and to training and equipping of believers for their part in fulfilling the Great Commission. As Christians of God's Kingdom, we are called to love, worship and obey our Lord, to love and serve his body, the Church, and present the whole Gospel for all men throughout the whole world.

Repentance, faith, love and obedience are fitting responses to God's initiative of grace towards us. God desires all men and women to be saved and to come to knowledge of truth. The Holy Spirit's power is demonstrated in and though us for the accomplishment of Christ's last commandment "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every living creature" (Mark 16:15)
By signing here, I affirm that I understand the Mission Statement of Youth with a Mission and agree with its basic doctrines as outlined in the Doctrinal Statement.
