Teenhopeline, Inc. has a passion to influence teens within the realm of their culture and behavior. We use teenhopeline.com, the radio ministry of Hope In Anguish and outreaches within our community and on the road with Seventh Day Slumber as they tour to impact the lives of students throughout North America and beyond. Teenhopeline, Inc. is also a safe place where our interns can truly learn who they are in Christ and learn what true community as a church means.

Statement of Faith

• We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
• We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
• We believe that, for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
• We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
• We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
• We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Mission Statement

To facilitate this generation in a Spiritual Revolution that will invade the culture, change lives and raise leaders for God’s glory through the internet, radio and alter ministry.

Vision Statement

RAISE UP:

A generation of leaders and missionaries who know who they are in Christ.

John 8:30-32 (The Message) Then Jesus turned to the Jews who had claimed to believe in him. "If you stick with this, living out what I tell you, you are my disciples for sure. Then you will experience for yourselves the truth, and the truth will free you."

Romans 12:3b (The Message) The only accurate way to understand ourselves is by what God is and by what he does for us, not by what we are and what we do for him.

Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV) Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

REACH OUT:

To lost and hurting youth, understanding where they are in their lives and being fearless to reach them there.

Isaiah 50:4 (NLT) The Sovereign LORD has given me his words of wisdom, so that I know how to comfort the weary.

Romans 15 1-2 (MSG) Those of us who are strong and able in the faith need to step in and lend a hand to those who falter, and not just do what is most convenient for us. Strength is for service, not status. Each one of us needs to look after the good of the people around us, asking ourselves, "How can I help?” That's exactly what Jesus did. He didn't make it easy for himself by avoiding people's troubles, but waded right in and helped out. "I took on the troubles of the troubled," is the way Scripture puts it. Even if it was written in Scripture long ago, you can be sure it's written for us.

Teenhopeline’s passion is to influence teens within the realm of their culture and behavior. We endeavor to:

• Provide a caring place where teens can interact, finding scriptural answers and direction, at times of decision in their life. (teenhopeline.com, web site, message board, chatroom, cyber station)
• Train up a generation of leaders with a passion to impact the youth culture using the tools of their language. (mentorship/training program)
• Bridge teens to the local church for discipleship and accountability. Provide discipleship opportunities and a point of contact. (follow up)
• Provide resources for Pastors and Youth Pastors for training and information on how to skillfully speak to the issues and questions of this generation. (books, online articles, resources)
• Be a translator to parents and Pastors on the condition of the current youth culture. (conferences, seminars, newsletters)
