At the Scott Dawson Evangelistic Association we believe that if you take a student into a week long mentoring process, adding someone from your local community and students from all over the country you will end up with a strengthened and challenged group of young adults. We believe you will see fruit from your group in all of these areas: - Students will be encouraged in their faith as they learn how to have a consistent, daily quiet time in a personal quiet time journal - Morning confrontational services that inspire - Daily applications of what they have learned through confrontational evangelism - Strengthened and trained by the four weeks of Bible study before they arrive culminating in an evening evangelistic service where people from all across the community come together to hear great inspirational concerts and powerful and convicting speaking - The drawing of the evangelism net where people come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior - Students go home with the responsibility of being a bold believer from the city in which they came

Toastmasters Club 3126 builds this confidence level by holding meetings and contests where the members can write and present speeches based on their own personal taste as well as volunteer their time to serve the club in some way which promotes leadership skills in the members. The pace is set by the member and they decide how fast they wish to proceed through all of the activities. Each new member can be assigned a mentor to help guide them through the process. The goal for each member is becoming a more confident public speaker and leader through the help and support of the other members in the club. We have an open door policy to welcome all who have interest in speaking well!

VISION STATEMENT: Igniting the spiritual spark within, we unify the world in love and joy. MISSION STATEMENT We demonstrate Divine Love through spiritual practice, joyful community and inspired outreach. Our Core Beliefs 1. There is only One Presence and One Power, manifesting as the universe and our life: God, all good; Omnipotence, Omniscience, and Omnipresence 2. Our essence is of God; therefore, we are inherently good. This God essence, called the Christ, was fully expressed in Jesus. 3. We are co-creators with God, creating reality through thoughts held in mind. 4. Through prayer and meditation, we align our heart-mind with God. Denials and affirmations are tools we use. 5. Through thoughts, words and actions, we live the Truth we know. Our Core Values: We are a LOVING HEALING INCLUSIVE JOY-FILLED FAMILY God God is Spirit, the loving source of all that is. God is the one power, all good, everywhere present, all wisdom. God is divine energy, continually creating, expressing and sustaining all creation. In God, we live and move and have our being. In Unity, some other ways we speak of God are Life, Light, Love, Substance, Principle, Law and Universal Mind. Jesus We believe that Jesus expressed his divine potential and sought to show humankind how to express ours as well. We see Jesus as a master teacher of universal truths and as our way-shower. In Unity, we use the term "Christ" to mean the divinity in humankind. Jesus is the great example of the Christ in expression. The Nature of Humankind We are each individual eternal expressions of God. Our essential nature is divine and, therefore, inherently good. Our purpose is to express our divine potential as realized and demonstrated by Jesus and other master teachers. The more we awaken to our divine nature, the more fully God expresses in and through our lives. The Bible Unity co-founders, Charles and Myrtle Fillmore, studied the Bible as history and allegory, and interpreted it as a metaphysical representation of humankind’s evolutionary journey toward spiritual awakening. In addition, Unity recognizes that the Bible is a complex collection of writings compiled over many centuries. We honor the writings as reflecting the understanding and inspiration of the writers at the time they were written. The Bible continues to be a valuable spiritual resource for us. Unity Teaches and Emphasizes... - that each person is a unique expression of God created with sacred worth. Living from that awareness transforms our lives and the world. -the creative power of thought in our life experience. We refer to this as the law of mind action. When we take personal responsibility to choose life-affirming thoughts, words and actions, we experience a more fulfilling and abundant life. -the importance of applying spiritual principles in our daily lives. -that each person continues to evolve as we identify, embrace and apply spiritual insights and the spiritual implications of new discoveries. -prayer and meditation. Affirmative prayer is the highest form of creative thought. It includes the release of counterproductive, negative thoughts as well as holding in mind statements of spiritual truth. Through meditation, we experience the presence of God. Prayer and meditation heighten our awareness and thereby transform our lives. Youth and Family Unity recognizes that there are many expressions of family life. All are welcome. Unity creates an affirming environment that fosters positive self image, personal responsibility and unconditional love and acceptance. Spiritual Action In Unity, we feel a sacred responsibility, individually and collectively, to make a positive difference through personal example and active service in our spiritual community, our local community and our world. Unity honors the universal truths in all religions and respects each individual’s right to choose a spiritual path.
