GUIDING PRINCIPLES
WHAT DRIVES AND GUIDES US
PURPOSE
We exist to launch vulnerable children into a life of faith as living testimonies into the community with productive, and godly lives.
We do this by equipping them with the education support, career preparation, exploitation prevention, and spiritual guidance needed to graduate high school prepared for either the job market or pursuing a college degree.

CORE VALUES
EVERYTHING WE DO REVOLVES AROUND THESE CORE PRINCIPLES...
F :: Fun (Celebration) and Friendship : We create experiences that the kids want to be part of, because fun based on celebration and being celebrated are integral to learning and growth.
A :: Authentic Identity : We help children discover and embrace their God-given identity.
I :: Intentional Ownership : We encourage the kids to take responsibility for their personal and spiritual development.
T :: Trust and Obey Scripture and the Spirit : We submit to the guidance of the God’s word and the leading of the Holy Spirit in all our endeavors through our most important responsibility: PRAYER. Launch Club’s prayer culture statement… Before we do anything, and while we do everything; we abide in God’s presence and seek His plan through intentional prayer.
