THE GATE of Kinston

We aspire to:

• Teach youth that Jesus Christ is not the alternative, He is the WAY.

• Charge youth with the power to change their life by focusing on Jesus Christ as the key to acceptance, significance, and identity.

• Promote sexual abstinence until marriage while encouraging youth to "stand strong" against any form of negative peer pressure to have sex before marriage.

• Serve as a vital leadership anchor within the community.

• Connect with local churches and families and collaborate with local schools and community agencies in an effort to build respectful and effective partnerships for life- changing results.

• Offering Jesus Christ and His love in a very real and heart-felt way

• Presenting fun activities within a tobacco-free, drug and alcohol free environment to give youth an avenue for positive recreation

• Equipping youth and parents with positive lifestyle skills

• Implementing Christ-centered behavior modification

• Recruit volunteers who, with their best effort, illustrate the character of Jesus Christ both publicly and privately.
