Central Pennsylvania Youth Ministries (CPYM), is a non-profit, para-church youth ministry based in Thompsontown, PA. All staff members are missionaries, having to raise their support for their ministry. CPYM has ministries in Newport, Greenwood, Juniata, East Juniata, Mifflin County, Snyder County, Union County and Northumberland County. Their main goal is to "Build relationships with teens to help them build a relationship with Jesus Christ."
MISSION STATEMENT: To share the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ with young people in the Central Pennsylvania community. By mobilizing and equipping God's Family of Believers, we will build relationships and develop programs that clearly communicate Jesus of the Bible.
FAITH STATEMENT:
We believe there is one God, eternally existing in three entities: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe the Bible to be the infallible inspired Word of God.
We believe Jesus Christ is true God and man. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, death as a substitute for man, bodily resurrection, ascension to the Father, intercessory work for believers and personal return in power.
We believe God created man and woman in his image, and that our identity lies within Him. We fell from relationship with God through disobedience and we are in desperate need of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus. Those who believe receive forgiveness and eternal life. Those who do not believe are lost to eternity in Hell.
We believe in the biblical model of marriage, between one man and one woman, and is the physical model of our relationship with God.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit who indwells believers in Christ and empowers them to live a Godly life and proclaim Christ as Lord and Savior.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, a unity that is displayed through many congregations that are members of one Body of Christ.
