2 I m pac t... What is Impact? Impact is the Service and Missions arm of the Pomona First Baptist Church (PFB) Next-Gen Ministries. We work closely with the Global Impact Ministries of PFB on various missions and service projects. Our purpose for Impact is to support the main vision of Inside Out Ministries of PFB, one of our goals is that all students and young adults will be involved in some type of ministry not everyone is called to go overseas but all are called to serve in some way. Before anyone gets involved, we encourage them to pray that God will direct them to just the right project. THE MAIN STUFF WE BELIEVE We believe that there is one God and that he is awesome. We believe in the Holy Trinity, even though we can t completely understand it. The fact that we can t understand it leaves us in awe of God. We believe that Jesus is God. We believe He came to earth as a man, while still remaining God, lived a perfect life, died on a cross for the sins of all people, and rose from the dead so that those who receive him may know God. We believe that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life that no one can get to God except through him. We believe that the Bible is the word of God. We believe that God knows how to write a book (even if some smart people think they can show the Bible isn t reliable) that is applicable to life past, present, and future. We believe in every part of it, even the parts that we don t understand. We accept all of it as from God for us to know him better and to live out his abundant life in us. We believe that the Christian life is a journey filled with both defeats and victories, with the purpose of making us look more and more like Jesus. We believe that Jesus will complete his work in us he will just take the rest of our lives to complete that work. We believe that Jesus is passionate about everyone, desiring all people to accept him as their Lord so that they may be forgiven of their sins and enjoy knowing him forever. Because of that, we will share Christ with others, both in word and deed. InsideOut exists to exalt Jesus as THE GREATEST... one student at a time. Brian Holland, Next-Gen Lead High School Pastor 2

4 T h r e e L e v e l s... Which Impact Missions & Service Level Is Best? PFB Next-Gen Ministries is serious about missions. We want all students and young adults to have a positive, rewarding, and spiritually productive experience. We do this by assigning each mission trip a ministry level. The ministry level is based upon the experience in ministry required for the trip as well as the nature of the cross-cultural experience and challenging conditions that the young adult and your son or daughter s will encounter. We encourage you to choose a trip according to your son or daughter s and the young adult spiritual maturity, ministry experience, and tolerance for new and (many times) less than comfortable living environments. Every member of the mission team must be in a living, personal relationship with Jesus Christ. They will be challenged to share how Christ has changed their lives. They ll be expected to tell others clearly and concisely how to have a personal relationship with Jesus. Three levels of service Next-Gen Ministries is serious about service!
