JOHN 6:12
REACH | LOVE | GROW | SERVE
THAT NOTHING BE LOST
The Code represents our core values.
They are the biblical characteristics we desire to see modeled in every teenager and young adult.
1.
We Act In Radical Faith
If we are to see a resurgence of apostolic demonstration and a spiritual awakening in our generation, we can’t limit God. We will move forward with expectation, taking bold steps and trusting God to do what only He can do.
2.
We Embrace Our Fathers' Mantles
Previous generations paved the way for us to be here. We will not disregard or dishonor the message and anointing of our spiritual fathers, but we will embrace it. By embracing their mantles, we seek a double portion of their anointing.
3.
We Keep The Landmarks, But Kill The Cows
Landmarks represent boundaries and legacy. We will keep the landmarks laid by the apostles and our elders, but we will not be afraid to slay sacred cows that have no foundation in God’s Word and relevance to our mission.
4.
We Are United Under One Vision
Revolution Student Ministries is united under the vision to reach the broken with the full Gospel, love God and people, grow in faith, and serve others that nothing be lost. We will not waver in that vision and will aggressively defend our unity to it.
5.
We Prioritize Growth Over Preservation
Catering to personal preference is not who we are. But we will do all we can, employ every method that aligns with our vision to reach this generation. We are more concerned about the generation we are trying to reach than those we are trying to keep.
6.
We Seek Revolution, Not Resignation
We desire to see a drastic change in thought, behavior and conversation in this generation and will act in radical faith to see that change. We will not take no for an answer in our attempt to communicate the full Gospel, nor do we accept attitudes of defeat in our mission to reach, grow and serve.
7.
We Think Inside The Box
Boundaries and limitations provide a frame in which God can paint a beautiful portrait of purpose, power and promise. We will embrace our limitations as a means for innovation, creativity and distinction in who God has called us to be.
8.
We Prepare For Promise
Prophetic promise leads us to prepare for where God is taking us, not where we are. We will look to the future, leverage resources and structure according to a prophetic purpose. We will stretch ourselves and capitalize on momentum to continue a movement towards the promise.
9.
We Focus On Less For More
Simplicity allows us to focus on what matters most and be excellent at it. We will align all resources, initiatives and ideas to the vision. Anything that does not align does not belong. We place a disproportionate value on creating an atmosphere and climate in which a generation can experience the Apostolic power of Jesus Christ.
10.
We Eat The Fish And Leave the Bones
We don’t have all the answers, as a result, we will maintain a posture of learning. We will study and discuss all opportunities & methodologies to reach this generation, but will only apply what can be aligned to our vision without compromising our apostolic message.
11.
We Are Known For Our Love For Each Other
In a culture and generation of chaos, violence and loneliness, we will raise the standard of love to all we come in contact with. We will treat each other with love and respect knowing that by our acts of love to each other, the world will know the God we serve.
12.
We Will Stay Humble
We will model humility by not seeking a spotlight or boasting of successes. We will celebrate victories in the context that our own abilities, talents and works are only tools through which Christ alone brings the harvest. It is not by might, nor by power, but by the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
