LOT318 Missions Statement:
The LOT318 stands for “Loving Others in Truth” from the verse 1 John 3:18. We exist to minister to at risk youth and their community by empowering them to see their worth and purpose in this world. We accomplish this by holding various events and service opportunities, to open their eyes to the world around us. We challenge them to serve others in the community and make a difference among their peers. We believe in education, and teaching them to value themselves and the resources they have available to them. Our goal is to give them opportunities they may never have had, to become a positive influence and force in our world, and to love them in truth.
Our Values:
v Relationships: We believe in building relationships with the members of the community and living life with them. We exist to serve and love each other in truth and build a foundation for lifelong friendships.
v Education: Our goal is to encourage the students to reach and maintain educational goals. We will give them access to achieving their dreams through after-school homework help and tutoring programs. Our hope is that they fall in love with learning and seize the opportunity given to them through education. We also want to educate / disciple the students in a life that is surrendered to Jesus Christ.
v Faith: Jesus Christ is the center and foundation of everything we do. We want to be the hands and feet of Jesus and bring others to Christ through our actions.
v Community: We want to be a community of believers and remain in constant fellowship with one another. We want to bridge the racial/socio-economic gaps that exist within our hometowns to create peace amongst our neighbors.
