THE MISSION SC is searching for young leaders who desire to accomplish great things for God but need an atmosphere that will help shape their leadership potential as they continue their mission with God.

THE MISSION'S Core Values:

COMMUNION with God
Deepening in CHARACTER
Clarifying CALL
New Testament COMMUNITY
Engaging CULTURE
 

THE MISSION SC is a program for emerging missional leadership training.  Since 1997, THE MISSION Urban Discipleship Centers (UDC) have been helping young leaders from the emerging culture align with God's mission in the world.  Our programs target young adults ages 18-25 to engage in their culture and influence their world for Christ. The initial year is dedicated to students becoming missional disciples and leaders.  It is a year of challenge, transformation and incredible experiences.  The second year opportunity is devoted to specific leadership training in a called area of ministry.  This two-year process integrates the ministerial licensure process including Calling and Ministry Studies (CAMS), Exhorter's Credentials, and Ministerial Internship Program (MIP). In addition to the transformation that takes place in these young leader's lives, they also engage in hands-on ministry.  Every year participants spend over 700 hours ministering in a variety of settings. THE MISSION UDC has equipped over 700 young leaders to align with God's mission in the world.  Today our graduates serve as pastors, youth pastors, children's pastors, public school teachers, missionaries overseas and in major U.S. urban cities, and ambassadors in the secular marketplace. THE MISSION SC Partners: Patten University online:  With the assistance of our academic partners, our students advance their academic studies that lead toward accredited degrees in a variety of ministry and secular majors.  Students may qualify to receive Pell grants and student loans as well as remain on their parent's insurance due to our full-time academic component.  Patten University, located in Oakland, California, is an affiliate school of the Church of God, Cleveland, TN.  Founded in 1944, the university is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.  The mission of Patten University is to provide an excellent education on the graduate and undergraduate levels that integrates growing faith and quality learning to inspire and equip men and women for ministry and service to effect community and global transformation. Patten University is a beacon for students who seek high standards of learning combined with a strong ethical foundation from which to make informed moral choices.  The curriculum challenges students with topical issues, relevant knowledge, and leading-edge skills.  The inspiring and supportive learning environment allows men and women to grow spiritually and academically and find and develop their unique talents and achieve real-world skills, knowledge, and experience. Following a tour in THE MISSION, academics can transfer toward Associates and Bachelors Degrees.  There is an endless amount of possibilities with THE MISSION SC. Mission Statement: To mobilize a generation of disciples that will love and follow Jesus Christ and actively advance the Kingdom of God to the nations of the earth, with a clear focus at the most densely populated urban cities. Vision Statement: To cultivate a discipleship movement that will gather, equip, mobilize and make disciples that will impact the cities of the world by perpetuating:   · Disciples that make disciples     · Leaders that make leaders       · Churches that plant churches History of THE MISSION Urban Discipleship Centers (UDC): The Mission Urban Discipleship Centers (UDC) are discipleship and ministry training programs, birthed by the International Department of Youth and Christian Education. The goal was to establish a model in major cities in the United States so that young adults could be discipled and trained for ministry in an urban environment. The Mission UDC program adopts a holistic approach to discipleship, creatively blending emphases on knowledge (formal education), being (informal education), and doing (non-formal education models). Students strive to know God, be men and women of holiness and character, and do the work of the Kingdom. In September 1997, the first Mission Urban Discipleship Center was launched in Atlanta, Georgia. Response to the national model in Atlanta was strong, and another program was started on the west coast in Fresno, California. God is truly raising up an army of disciples to reach our cities and world. Over the last four years, the students in the Mission Urban Discipleship Center Atlanta have served God by—   · Feeding over 30,000 meals to the homeless   · Showing love to orphans through 20 ministry outreaches at orphanages   · Ministering to more than 20,000 children in project areas   · Preaching the gospel in more than 1,000 churches across    the U.S.   · Sharing Christ’s love overseas in Honduras, Ecuador,    Uruguay, Cayman Islands, Mexico, Belgium, Canada, the Bahamas, Brazil, England, Germany, Czech Republic, Hungary, Scotland, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Poland, Israel, Ghana, Kenya, and Ireland.   · Ministering to more than 100,000 teenagers at Winterfest events.
