Mission Statement:
The mission of the Christ Ambassadors Group of Faith Pentecostal Assembly, Burlingtion, NL., through the enablement of
the Holy Spirit is to help young people mature as Christians, and prepare them, and disciple them, to be great men and women
of God.
What We Believe:
We follow in ordinance with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Newfoundland and Labrador's Statement of Faith, which says:
- WE BELIEVE the Bible is the inspired and only infallible
and authoritative Word of God.
- WE BELIEVE there is one God, eternally existent in three
persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost.
- WE BELIEVE in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in his
virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His
ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal future return to this earth in power and glory to rule a thousand
years.
- WE BELIEVE in the Blessed Hope-the Rapture of the Church
at Christ's coming.
- WE BELIEVE the only means of being cleansed from sin is
through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Christ.
- WE BELIEVE regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely
essential for personal salvation.
- WE BELIEVE in Water Baptism by immersion for believers
according to Matthew 28:19.
- WE BELIEVE in observance of the Lord's Supper in remembrance
of the death of our Lord as outlined in 1 Corinthians 11:23-32.
- WE BELIEVE the redemptive work of Christ on the Cross
provides healing of the human body in answer to believing prayer.
- WE BELIEVE in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, according
to Acts 2:4, is given to believers who ask for it.
- WE BELIEVE in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit
by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life.
- WE BELIEVE in the resurrection of both the saved and the
lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation.
Executive:
The executive of our group are voted on by members of Faith Pentecostal Assembly every couple of years. The executive
consists of four members: A president, vice-president, secretary, and member at large. God has worked greatly through each member of the executive, and they have shown that their hearts are with all young
people, and they share their desire with God, that no young person would be lost. The youth of our group have grown
a great respect for their executive, and have learned to trust them with anything they're dealing with spiritually.
The executive have shown that they're always there when the youth need them, and have proven that they can offer support and
advice in any situation.
Worship Band:
Our worship band consists of people who have a great heart for music, and worshiping God. Their desire is not to
put on a show whenever they are at a service, wherever that service may be, but that they too will receive from God as they
lead the people in worshiping him. The band is fronted by Scott Newbury, and consists of many more musicians who have
shown their talent that God has given them and we are thankful that they have chosen to use that talent to
glorify him. Biographies of each member of the worship team, can be found here.
Drama Team:
"Higher Realm" was formed when team leader Joan Lush felt God telling her that it
was time for the youth group of Burlington, to have a team who could present the message of God’s love through the means
of Drama. As of now, the team consists of 11people. 9 actors, 1 technical advisor, and team leader, Joan Lush. Since
the team has started, many other people have shown interest, and have approached the team, asking to join. Joan says that
she hopes the team will expand more in the future, and that more and more youth will be touched by what this drama teams does.
The name "Higher Realm" was conceived out of the mind of team member Danielle Newbury. Danielle says that "Higher Realm" means
that we want to go higher, that we won’t settle for what we have now, we want something better. She also presented the
portion of scripture from Ephesians 2:6-7: And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in heavenly realms in Christ
Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us
in Christ Jesus.
