Ryan, a student at Wheeler Mission's Training Center, came seeking help after years of struggling with addiction and not knowing his two daughters.

3. YOUTH ALIVE MISSION … DIA
Mission
..To provide an atmosphere where the Word of God is the priority, allowing youth to actively
pursue a GENUINE relationship with Jesus Christ.
Vision
To train our students to understand DIA … Discovery, Identity and Authority.
This is the foundation for which all teaching and events are based to allow a student to embrace
the concept of how they connect to the DIA vision..
D is for Discovery – Discovering who God is through His Word.
I is for Identity ‐ Knowing who I am in Christ
A is for Authority – Walking in my God‐given authority and purpose.
We believe that the above occurs when we “connect” and we encourage all volunteers and students to
know and understand how to incorporate our DIA vision when they are properly connected. We
embrace Youth Alive students with a goal that they embrace the concept of DIA through “I
connect” statements:
D ‐ A place where I connect to allow God to reveal himself to me;
I ‐ A place where I connect to see who God has called me to be;
A ‐ A place where I connect to obtain/receive tools to fulfill my purpose
All three of these acronyms are found in our foundational scripture, where the disciples
discovered the truth of who Jesus is and as a result He has provided to us our true identity, once
our identity is known and embraced, we then discover our authority given to us by Christ.
Matthew 16:13‐19 (King James Version)
13When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say
that I the Son of man am?
14And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the
prophets.
15He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not
revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
18And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of
hell shall not prevail against it.
19And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth
shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
4. REACH. RELATE. RENEW.
Reach
Luke 14:23 "Then the master said to the servant, ʻGo out into the highways and hedges, and compel
them to come in, that my house may be filled."
Every week at Youth Alive we strive to reach out into our community and give teenagers a
compelling reason to come to church. We do this through our:
Facility – Youth Alive is over 13,000 sq. ft. of teenage paradise. All the things our facility
offers takes away any physical reason a teenager may have for not wanting to
come to church.
Services – Every Wednesday night, Saturday night and Sunday mornings, we strive to
have an event feel for our students. About four to five times each year, we host
a BIG EVENT that gives our Christian students an avenue to reach their world,
and the lost teenager a reason to come check out Youth Alive.
People – Although our facility and events are extremely important in reaching the teenagers of
our area, our biggest assets are the people who serve and the Christian students who attend
Youth Alive each week. Each week our workers and our students make an eternal impact on the
lives of everyone who attends.
Relate
Relationships are the conduits in which renewal flows. Where there is no relationship, there can
be no change; therefore, each week we will strive to relate to our students through:
Individual Contact – It is our goal to relate to individual students who attend our
services through pre‐and post‐service games and events, as well as the bus ride
to Youth Alive.
The Word of God – Every Wednesday, Saturday night, and every Sunday morning, we
put the Word of God into our students as we passionately present it in a
relevant way so the students will listen and be able to apply what they've heard
to their individual lives.
The task that God has given us is far too big to be completed alone, but together, we will not
fail. As a team, we will Reach, Relate and Renew one teenager at a time.
5. Renewal
II Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering
toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."
Without renewal, all is lost. Without change, there is no Youth Alive. Bringing teenagers into a
personal relationship with Jesus Christ is why we do everything we do. We assist teenagers in
developing as young Christians by first loving them, as Christ loves the Church. We model Christ
love and acceptance through grace to each and every youth. We cannot extend the love of
Christ when we stand in judgment and exhibit no mercy. We are here for one true purpose, and
that is to provide a place an opportunity for youth to receive the Word of God. We can only
plant seeds or water seeds already planted, it is by the power of God’s Word, and by His spirit
that He alone touches our students and begins the transformation that He alone can do. We
pray as laborers that we are willing vessels who exhibit patience and practice our faith that ALL
things can be done through Christ alone. The transforming love of Christ is what provides each
of us, including our students, the ability to be renewed and restored, and to be reborn as His
children living for Him and His kingdom

Unleashed – High School Ministry Specialized services are available on Wednesday evenings
from 7:00pm – 8:30 pm and services are grouped into teaching series that elaborate on
relevant topics and how the Bible still contains the answers to all of life’s questions and
unravels mysteries our hearts long to know. Our goal is to push the “DIA” methods of
teaching so that students are compelled to choose the better life in Christ. On Sunday
mornings from 11:00 am – 12:30 pm are bible based expository teaching (verse by
verse) to challenge our youth to evaluate their lifestyles and compare them to what the
Bible truth. We strive for truthfulness and transparency, passion and commitment, the
joy and blessing of what a life with Christ can be. In everything we do with the youth,
we encourage a real and intimate relationship with Christ and nurture an environment
that loves our youth unconditionally, to represent the love and mercy Christ has for us
all.
Ground Zero – Junior High Ministry Specialized services are available on Wednesday evenings
from 7:00pm – 8:30 pm and are topic based sermons revolving around monthly themes
that challenge and stimulate students to make bold decisions to live for Christ and by
teaching through the bible on His character, students come to desire a more intimate
relationship with Him. On Sunday mornings from 11:00 am – 12:30 pm services are
verse by verse studies in a small group setting that allow for students to reflect on what
is being taught and how it can be applied to current life events. Discussions are led by
trained small group leaders and are designed to engage students and make the Word of
God relevant here and now.
Combined Services – Junior High and Senior High Regular services for both age groups are
combined to offer teaching on Saturday evenings from 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm and on
Sunday mornings from 8:30 am – 10:00 am in the Youth Alive Main Sanctuary.
7. Development Programs
Mentoring Programs: Small groups meet once per month. This forum meets on Tuesday
nights once per month. Initially, this is a place where like minded youth can get
together and form new friendships while having adults encourage them in their faith.
We also include field trips that involve expanding their cultural experiences, such as
college campus visits, museums, plays, etc. The two groups we currently offer include:
• Boys Mentoring Group: “Iron Sharpens Iron (ISI)”
• Girls Mentoring Group: “Project I.D. (P.I.D)”, Meeting held once a month.
Bible Study Groups: Weekly meetings on Monday evenings from 6 pm – 7pm. These groups
are designed to help young men and women grow spiritually and to practice and
develop life skills based on the Word of God to influence their day to day decision
making. It is through an intimate setting that we continually lead the youth back to the
Word of God for answers to everyday issues. By directing them to an absolute truth we
empower them to live in confidence and by faith, according to God’s Word. Most of
our students will gain a hunger for the Word in this setting and often move up to our
next level of commitment to the Christian life through our Student Leadership Program.
Student Leadership: An ongoing class offered Sunday mornings at 10:00am designed to
provide young Christians an opportunity to connect, engage and form relationships, first
with the Word of God, and second with others who have also made the decision to
follow Christ. They learn that in order to become effective leaders, they must embrace
and learn how to “follow”. We allow for practical opportunities to serve in various
capacities. Our goal is to develop students to become leaders both at church, in their
homes, schools and communities.
Events
True Love Waits An annual eight week in‐depth series on purity and restoration. This is
illustrated through creative arts and teaching through the Word of God. At the end of
this teaching series, both students and parents take a pledge committing themselves to
a life of purity and zero tolerance to drugs, alcohol and sexual activity. This is a time of
renewal and purification and addresses many difficult real life situations our students
face today.
Youth Conference An annual event geared towards bringing the Christian community, near and
far, to equip youth with the necessary tools to do what God has called each of them to
do.
8. The Six Essentials of the Youth Alive Experience
In today's culture, people seek out great experiences everywhere they go. Youth Alive is no
exception to that rule. It is our goal to provide an experience which makes a lasting impression
on our guests. The Youth Alive Experience is simply this: while at Youth Alive, we want our
guests to tangibly experience the love of God while having fun at the same time. In order to
accomplish this, we have identified six key things each Youth Alive team member should do
during every Youth Alive service.
Essential 1: Be Our Guest
The first essential in creating the Youth Alive experience is recognizing that each and every
person who enters our facility is our guest, and we have the responsibility of being excellent
hosts/hostesses for those guests. They are more than just teenagers or visitors; they are
individuals who we are excited to have with us. This is a mindset that should influence how we
act in every situation involving a guest. All of the following essentials of the Youth Alive
Experience hinge on this mindset.
Essential 2: Act “As If”
As a Youth Alive Team Member, it is essential that you act “As If” ‐ as if all of our guests are
good students who are there for the right reasons, as if each guest is innocent and not guilty.
We need to assume the best of our guests, instead of assuming the worst. It is often easy to
pre‐judge someone based on their appearance or their attire and then treat them a certain way
based on this pre‐judgment. It is also important not to let your dealings with a guest who has
violated a policy affect your dealings with other students.
This does not mean, however, that we turn a blind eye to problems or violations of rules. If a
student has violated a Youth Alive policy, each team member is expected to see that the issue is
addressed. We will cover the procedures of when and how to properly confront a guest later in
this manual.
Essential 3: Get Into Character
The best actors are those who have the ability to get into the character they are playing. They
have learned how to take on that character's mindset, to communicate like that character and
to exhibit the emotions of that character. The actors who succeed in winning their audience are
the ones who fully commit to playing their role.
As a Youth Alive team member, you have the chance to win over our audience at each service or
event we host. In order to do this effectively, you must be in character. Many of us come to
Youth Alive directly from stressful workdays or unfavorable circumstances in our personal lives
and all too often this means that baggage comes with us. Because of this and because our
mission is so important, it is imperative that you take a few moments prior to arriving at Youth
Alive to get into character‐ to prepare yourself mentally and emotionally for ministering to the
guests of Youth Alive. During this time, pray and ask God to help you do your best that night in
communicating His love to students, clear your head of whatever baggage might be hanging on
11. Ministry Guidelines
TEAM MEMBER EXPECTATIONS
1. Must be in agreement with the Statement of Faith of ALFC
2. Must be a member of ALFC
3. Must be a committed and consistent tither
4. Must agree to daily devotion bible study and prayer
5. Must be loyal to the Senior Pastor and the leaders of ALFC and Youth Alive

9. Must complete all leadership training and attend all team member meetings.
10. Must be faithful to your assigned position and arrive on time.
11. Must complete Orientation, Live Scan and receive clearance, Interview, and Training

Christians who are in places of authority and responsibility within the church are required to be
examples in faith, conduct, and business matters. To maintain a high standard for workers is one
of the best ways to represent Christ to the people of our community. God’s word instructs us to
operate in excellence and to maintain order. Therefore, the guidelines provided are required of
any person who works in any area of Youth Alive.
GUIDELINES FOR TEAM MEMBERS
Guidelines should be adhered to by ALL Youth Alive Volunteer Team Members regardless of
position. These guidelines were created to protect and benefit both you and the guests of
Youth Alive.
TEAM LEADERSHIP
Youth will not be in the primary care of only one adult. Teams of adults (preferably male and
female) will supervise Youth Alive sponsored services, activities and events. This policy helps
ensure appropriate levels of supervision and protects adults from unfounded allegations.
INDIVIDUAL GUIDANCE
Team guidance is mandatory, meaning that two Team Members must be present when
providing guidance for a student. Guidance should be given in a public place where private
conversations are possible but occur in full view of others. Avoid seclusion. Female adults
should counsel female students and males should counsel males. A male and female team is
generally appropriate for counseling either gender.
13.
DATING OR SEXUAL INVOLVEMENT
No adult Team Member is to date a youth or to be romantically involved with a youth.
Exceptions are made only when the age of the student and adult worker are very close and the
relationship meets the approval of all parents involved, as well as the Youth Alive Pastoral staff.
Sexual conduct of any kind is absolutely forbidden. Any adult with prior incidents of sexual
misconduct in this regard may not be a youth worker or serve in any capacity of youth ministry
at Youth Alive. There are no exceptions to this guideline.
LIFESTYLE
All Youth Alive Team Members must refrain from using illegal drugs. In addition to living a
separated Christian life, we encourage our Team Members to abstain from tobacco and alcohol.
If a concern is addressed from any youth or parent regarding a Team Member’s use of tobacco
or alcohol, this may result in disciplinary action. We take this position in order to prevent our
brothers and sisters from stumbling.
MISCONDUCT
Team Members must avoid even the appearance of misconduct in order to maintain parental
confidence and avoid mistaken allegations. Any suspected or observed misconduct by other
Team Members should be reported to the Youth Alive Leadership immediately.
SUPERVISION
All Youth Alive Team Members are under the authority and supervision of the Youth Pastor and
his department leaders.
DISOBEDIENCE
Team Members who disobey these guidelines may be reassigned or relieved from youth service
at the discretion of the Youth Alive and/or Abundant Living Family Church Pastoral Staff.
14. YOUTH ALIVE RULES AND DISCIPLINARY GUIDELINES
RULES
This outlines what we expect from our guests while at Youth Alive, when we have the
responsibility to confront a guest and how to handle that confrontation appropriately. Our goal
is not to create a police state of heavy‐handed enforcement, but to establish authority during
Youth Alive events that will allow true ministry to take place. Below are three phrases that will
help you determine if confronting a guest is needed. These serve as guidelines and each Youth
Alive Team Member has a responsibility to step in and talk with a guest who is engaging in the
following types of behaviors:
Hurting Us: If a guest is damaging our facility, equipment, or showing disrespect to one of
our leaders, they need to be confronted regarding their behavior.
Hurting Others: If a guest is hurting others, they must be confronted. This includes fighting,
verbal antagonizing or threatening and any other form of disrespect towards
another guest.
Hold Your Tongue: We must step in if a guest cannot hold their tongue. This includes
swearing and making out or other forms of inappropriate behavior that can be
easily considered offensive to others.

each instance.

dress code, notify your Service Coordinator or Security Team Member.
WHEN AND HOW TO CONFRONT A GUEST
When confronting a student about a violation of one of our rules, it is important that we handle
the situation in an appropriate manner that does not seek to humiliate or anger that student.
Even inside of correction, a relationship can be built that will ultimately lend to the development
of the student being disciplined. Each team member should follow the steps outlined below
when confronting a guest of Youth Alive.
01 Look them in the eye during the conversation. This communicates confidence and
authority on your part
02 Start the conversation by introducing yourself. Tell them your name and ask for their
name. This action is an ice‐breaker that disarms the situation and puts the student at
ease.
03 Calmly explain the rule that they were in violation of and explain how they broke that
rule. Explain briefly the reason behind the rule so they understand why we enforce it
and also what action we take when that rule is broken.
04 Make sure that the student understands what you have just communicated to them.
05 Never yell, use slang terms, physically grab or touch them, or confront a student of the
opposite sex alone.
16. SUSPENSION PROCESS
If a guest violates a policy that does not allow for a warning or if a suspension may be warranted
for their actions, please follow these steps listed below.
01 Immediately notify the Service Coordinator or Department Director of the
situation
02 Briefly outline the facts of the incident
03 Your Service Coordinator or Department Director will contact Security and may

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
In the event of an emergency during a Youth Alive event or service, please follow the following
procedures:
01 Stay calm. It is critical that Team Members exemplify a calm demeanor during any
emergency situation in order to keep our guests calm and avoid a chaotic situation.
02 Stay put. Do not take off or make your way to where the situation is taking place. This
creates difficulty in locating our Team members and prevents us from providing a
smooth response to the situation. Stay in your position and wait for further
instruction from the Service Coordinator.
03 Wait for Instruction. Our Staff, Security or Emergency Response Team will quickly
respond to any situation that arises and will provide directives to Department
Leaders. Your leaders will then inform you of any action that needs to be taken.
04 Focus on our guests. Your primary focus should be on keeping our guests calm and
under control. Reaffirm them by repeatedly letting them know that we do have a
plan for emergency situations. This helps us insure that the situation does not
escalate further and keeps our guests from endangering themselves and others.
REPORTING AN EMERGENCY
If you need to report an emergency of any kind, immediately notify any Team Member / Leader
with Radio (usually your Service Coordinator, Ministry Director, Staff Member, Security Team, )
access and they in turn will contact the Security Director or Staff Member as appropriate.
