Since 2007 we have focused on helping thousands of youth take the next step in their faith through Christ centered, responsible, safe, impactful, and fun youth mission trips for middle and high school youth groups (other groups and families welcome!). It’s like summer camp with service projects and missions outreach. Join us in serving Christ and cultivating faith in our students through youth missions at one of our 12 locations in the U.S. and abroad.
Mission/Vision Statement
To provide opportunities for students to explore their faith, experience God, and extend service to others, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Doctrinal Statement
Next Step Ministries believes that there is one God in three distinct person (Father, Son & Holy Spirit). We believe that God is love and that he extends his love to all people. We believe that God has created us with the choice to love him; however, as a result of humankinds original choice not to love God ( i.e., sin) we became separated from him. It is for this reason that the Father has sent his Son, Jesus Christ who was sinless, persecuted and died on the cross on our behalf. We believe that God has raised Jesus from death to life to mend our broken relationship with himself.
It is our goal to bring this good news to all people who will listen through our actions and words. Next Step Ministries holds that the Bible is the inspired word of God and is thereby applicable and authoritative for our lives today. We believe that God is all loving and all powerful, and is therefore worthy of all our praise and reverence. We believe God encompasses the fullness of love and calls us to love him and all those around us regardless of race, political slant, religion, or sex. We believe that God has called every Christian to reach the physical and spiritual needs of those around us.
To that end, Next Step Ministries strives to enable and prepare students to further Gods Kingdom throughout the United States and around the world. It is our goal to give people the opportunity to take the next step in their faith and come into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and experience the real life; the life that only Gods true love can give!
