Mission
The
mission of
Kairos
in North America is to help young
people find theirs. Our vision is a
generation of youth equipped to stand:
young men and women who are confident in
their faith, leaders in church and
society, and on mission for the good news
of Jesus Christ. We work towards this by
doing four things:
- We
run programs to help youth grow as
Christian disciples
- We
partner with other Christian
organizations as a way for us to connect
young people to missionary environments
- We
serve churches and Christian communities
to improve their ability to work with
their youth
- We
provide resources to help young people
follow the Lord, and to help others
engage in youth ministry
Name
Kairos is the ancient Greek word for
the opportune moment, the special season,
and the right time. It’s the time when God
acts, and we respond.
Young
people live in just this sort of time. It’s
when they make the decisions that determine
the person they will become and when they
have the opportunity to give their whole
lives for something truly significant.
Our
organization was created to encounter young
men and women during this kairos
in their lives: to introduce them to
Jesus Christ, to call them into mature
discipleship, and to walk with them as they
respond.
Network
Kairos is the family of youth and college
outreaches related through
The
Sword of the Spirit. The Sword of the
Spirit is an international, ecumenical
association of Christian communities. These
communities are not churches but groups of
church-going families and singles striving
to live as disciples on mission. While we
mainly work in this context, we also partner
with other organizations that are equipping
their youth to stand.
