“So what’s so different about Clay Christian Fellowship’s youth program this summer?”
First of all, there is one!
“Great, but aren’t there plenty of God-honoring activities and programs and events across the nation in which youth can participate to grow in their faith?”

The C&MA denomination promotes the Fourfold Gospel (an idea coined by A.B. Simpson): Jesus is our Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King.

I am usually a person who starts something and tries hard to finish the task before launching into a new one, i.e. dishes, if I get started, [key word: if] then very little will stop me. Anyone else have this problem? I have often sinfully boasted to myself of this trait.

At #10, we meet with many rebellious teens/youths. These young people fail to listen to their parents, respect authorities, and are out of control. Our approach is to work with the parents first and pray that they can make some changes that will help the young person. Then, we work with the young person often with [...]
