New Song Youth
While seeking God's revival amongst young people we immerse ourselves in their world and make ourselves available for friendship and relationship. We involve ourselves in the lives of youth through tutoring, coaching, mentoring and various other activities. In collaboration with other community agencies we help facilitate late night programs, back to school fairs, juvenile justice outreach, and one on one mentoring. Presently we have two distinct yet harmonious places Youth Fire and Sozo, where our friends hear the good news of Jesus Christ. In both of these ministries young people are told who God has made them, the design He has for their life and then are loved and discipled to become those very people.
Our Vision
To create lifelong followers of Jesus who have hearts to see the hope of Jesus change their homes, their schools, their city, and the world. History has shown that many of the significant moves of God have taken place in and through young people. We believe there will be literally hundreds and hundreds of youth from Tacoma in the next four years and many to follow, who will change the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Our Values
- Jesus as Lord and Savior. He gets the credit.
- Love: Jesus motivates us to love young people selflessly.
- Outreach: we go to young people and meet them on their turf.
- Life on life discipleship.
- Youth are going to the nations with the good news of Jesus Christ.
- Diversity and Unity: love that shatters demographics.
