Statements

Mission Statement
The purpose of United Youth Club is to simply enhance, strengthen, and continue building one’s faith by united fellowship amongst one another; and not only one’s faith is mainly implemented but by one’s own self and how he projects real life situations with the close relationship of Jesus and the clear understanding of His Word. It is said that the course of a person’s life and behavior is mostly dependent on that person’s surroundings and environment, and the core significance of a person’s surroundings and environment are the people present in those two. With united fellowship spending time together loving, understanding, caring and knowing about Jesus Christ in a daily basis, and doing things simply for Jesus Christ, this will surely affect a persons faith, decision-making, relationships with others, public relations, cooperativeness, social skills, team-work, values and the like; in other words it will surely affect a person’s well-being for the better.

Vision Statement
Our vision is to make every individual love Jesus Christ more than himself, love others more than himself and lastly love ones self through the help of fellow colleagues so that they can grow and influence each other that will impact each one in terms of their own well-being. Knowing what to do in every situation God may give them, seeking God’s advice first than someone else or himself, having the right judgment and the right choices for the benefit of others, and ones self. Doing activities together that will always benefit J.O.Y., learning and teaching values to one another and most importantly correcting each others faults and mistakes.

Value Statement
Jesus, Others and Yourself
We will value Jesus first, others second, and ones self the last. It was the Father’s thoughts of others - for us - that brought about the love and mercy now shown to man (Titus 3:4). Christ is seen as the one who loved us, and gave himself up for us (Gal. 2:20), and here was Christ’s thoughts for others.
When we obey the gospel of Christ, and apply ourselves fully to his teaching, we will find that Jesus is indeed first, and we will also find that others will come before self. Thus, you will have that JOY! All preaching and teaching, with the great preparation that precedes it, is for the benefit of others. Those who engage in visitation and personal evangelism work do so with thoughts of others. When we visit the sick and shut-ins, it is in fulfillment of thoughts we’ve had for others. In Matthew 6:19-20 it says: Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. In other words what you do now for Jesus and for others will benefit you in the heaven. So why not invest your time in the things that really matter? Loving Jesus and others is the most important thing you can do.

"The Fruits of the Spirit" (Galatians 5:22-23)

Unity
From Psalms 133:1 “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” we believe that unity is an essential value that is inevitable to disregard. With unity we can do anything together, influence each other for the good, and love our Father, together as one.

Love
In Galatians 5:14 it says “For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” Love is so important it over rules every other law. If we would love every person as ourselves than there would be no more murders, robberies, or any other unloving act. We would be in a living paradise! To accomplish that, we would have to be perfect, but we can at least do what we can and the world will be better.

Care
You are required to lovingly care for your brethren above yourself. It is a gesture of your commitment to Jesus.

Respect and Standard Behavior
Respect the United Youth statement accordingly, as Christians we should be able to manifest the fruit of the spirit which is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance, but the greatest of these is love.

Cooperation
You are required to cooperate according to the majorities vote on any decision that is made by the members of the United Youth Club.
