Camps/Convention
Campus Missionary is a student who commits to share Jesus with his or her friends—at school, in the neighborhood, at work, or wherever there is an opportunity to share Jesus.
A Youth Alive Movement happens when students join together to share Jesus, whether it’s a traditional school Youth Alive Club, a prayer movement, a homeschool or cyber-school club, or simply an off-road group of students working to share Jesus.

ASSEMBLIES OF GOD DOCTRIN
Our doctrine. Our statement of Fundamental Truths The Bible is our sufficient rule of faith and conduct. This Declaration of fundamental truths has the sole purpose of being the basis of fellowship among us (e.g., that we all speak the same thing, 1 Corinthians 1:10; Acts 2:42). The phraseology used in this statement is neither inspired nor indisputable, but the truth presented is considered essential to a complete gospel ministry. This statement is not claimed to contain all biblical truth, only that it encompasses our need for these fundamental doctrines.

Ephesians 4:24 [KJV/NIV]
Titus 2:12 [KJV/NIV]
The ordinance of baptism by immersion is commanded by the Scriptures. All who repent and believe on Christ as Saviour and Lord are to be baptized. Thus they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they also have been raised with Him to walk in newness of life.
Matthew 28:19 [KJV/NIV]
Mark 16:16 [KJV/NIV]
Acts 10:47,48 [KJV/NIV]

Holy Communion
The Lord’s Supper, consisting of the elements –bread and the fruit of the vine– is the symbol expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:4 [KJV/NIV]), a memorial of his suffering and death (1 Corinthians 11:26 [KJV/NIV]), and a prophecy of His second coming (1 Corinthians 11:26 [KJV/NIV]), and is enjoined on all believers “till He come!”
This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian Church. With it comes the endowment of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry.
Luke 24:49 [KJV/NIV]
Acts 1:4 [KJV/NIV]

, Hebrews 12:28 [KJV/NIV]

and a more active love for Christ, for His Word and for the lost, Mark 16:20 [KJV/NIV]
Acts 2:4 [KJV/NIV]

Romans 12:1,2 [KJV/NIV]
1 Thessalonians 5:23 [KJV/NIV]
Hebrews 13:12 [KJV/NIV]
The Scriptures teach a life of “holiness without which no man shall see the Lord.”
Hebrews 12:14 [KJV/NIV]
By the power of the Holy Spirit we are able to obey the command: “Be ye holy, for I am holy.”
1 Peter 1:15,16 [KJV/NIV]
Sanctification is realized in the believer by recognizing his identification with Christ in His death and resurrection, and by the faith reckoning daily upon the fact of that union, and by offering every faculty continually to the dominion of the Holy Spirit.

Hebrews 12:23 [KJV/NIV]
Since God’s purpose concerning man is to seek and to save that which is lost, to be worshipped by man, to build a body of believers in the image of His Son, and to demonstrate His love and compassion for all the world, the priority reason for being of the Assemblies of God as part of the Church is:
The Assemblies of God exists expressly to give continuing emphasis to this reason for being in the New Testament apostolic pattern by teaching and encouraging believers to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. This experience:
