| MISSION STATEMENT! |
| Teen-Nite is a citywide outreach youth program. We serve young adults in the city of Aurora and surrounding cities of the Fox Valley area. Our goal is to engage and challenge these young adults off the streets of the cities with the Word of God and provide an alternative to a negative lifestyle. We seek to build strong relationships with the youth by instilling hope, faith, integrity, values, vision, relationships, excellent leadership, and unconditional love through mentoring, recreation, and fellowship. Another goal is to take the city and bring all the youth back to God through the gospel of Jesus Christ. |

| SCRIPTURES & MOTTO! |
STATEMENT OF FAITH!
God, the almighty Father is the creator of all things spiritual and physical. He is generous, loving, and
caring. He is also just and demands complete obedience to his Word.
Jesus Christ is the Word, who has always been with God and who is God. He is the Son of God, the
Savior. He was sent down from heaven to be born a perfect man and to die for our sins. He rose again to
give us eternal life and he ascended to heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father. He will return one
day, no one knows when, to judge the living and the dead.
The Holy Spirit of God is the giver of life who has always been with God and who is God. He caused Jesus
to be conceived in his mother, the Virgin Mary. When Jesus ascended to heaven he sent the Holy Spirit
among us to convict us of sin, to guide us, to teach us, and to comfort us.
These three, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, are one God who lives forever in us and with us. We call
this true God the Trinity.
God created people in His image to glorify and enjoy Him. He placed them in the Garden of Eden, but
Satan tempted them to sin. They sinned by disobeying God, so they lost fellowship with Him. Because of
their sin, we have all become sinners. Because we are all sinners and cannot save ourselves, we need
salvation.
If anyone believes that Jesus died for our sins and rose again, that person is saved, and the Holy Spirit
lives in him, and God is his true Father.
Now as God's children we are called to live holy and righteous lives to the glory of God and his
righteousness, free from the slavery and power of sin. We live by the Word of God written in scripture by
the power of the Holy Spirit, so we do not live like everyone else.
Our hope is in the life to come, living with God forever, with happiness, joy, and peace in the love of our
Father. Anyone who believes in Jesus can be sure of inheriting this eternal life.
