Our Values

Timeliness: Be respectful of the time and effort put in by those who are coaching, advising, and or working alongside you.  Part of that is showing up before the times communicated.

Model the Way: Set the example, go the extra mile, do something that isn’t asked of you. Do What You Say You’re Going To Do! Be the leader for each other AND the community that we know you are!

Communication: We cannot help you if we are not aware of what is going on, whether that is directly in an IGNITE Youth Leader Team, after school program, or in a school, church, or community center program. Communicating your needs, conflicts, or updates is key. The more we know, the better we can help.

Respect: You may not always agree with something or someone.  But you can ALWAYS address it with class and integrity.

Commitment: You are a part of a larger entity now – challenge yourself to engage consistently. You’ll be amazed at what God will do in you and through you when you do. WE need you to making this organization great!

Have Fun: IGNITE is playful, fun, and engaging. We will challenge you and call you higher all while having fun!

IGNITE Voices

Hear from the young leaders who’ve experienced transformation, connection and calling through the IGNITE journey.
“IGNITE changed my life. Through the mentorship program, I discovered my passion for helping others and I’m looking at careers in ministry and teaching. My relationship with Jesus has grown and I’m realizing my faith is not just on Sundays.”

Ethan Infantee

Current Youth Leader

“I used to struggle with where I saw myself down the road, but IGNITE has helped me grow closer to God and now I am looking into becoming a pastor. I never realized how close you could get to God. With the advice of Pastor Joe and Mr. Anthony, I know I’m going to be ok no matter where I end up.”
