Delight DNA
Understand the heartbeat and mission behind Delight Ministries
OUR MISSION
OUR MISSION IS TO INVITE COLLEGE WOMEN INTO CHRIST-CENTERED COMMUNITY THAT FOSTERS VULNERABILITY AND TRANSFORMS STORIES.
OUR CORE VALUES
INVITATIONAL
We believe in going out of our way to pursue people. We intentionally invite women to be a part of our community and into a deeper relationship with Jesus.
VULNERABLE COMMUNITY
Delight is a place to be fully known, loved, and challenged. We believe in community that carries each other’s burdens and celebrates the victories.
EFFECTIVE INNOVATION
We intentionally look for new, innovative, and effective ways of doing ministry. We’re not afraid to do things that haven’t been done before.
EQUIPPING & DISCIPLING
We believe in taking the time to bring others closer to Jesus while resourcing them to become strong and servant-hearted leaders.
SPIRIT LED
We desire to look to Jesus in every decision, plan, and strategy. We will follow faith over fear.
OUR STATEMENT OF BELIEF
the Bible
We believe the Holy Bible is the inspired word of God, written by human authors through the power of the Holy Spirit, and is completely trustworthy and authoritative for our lives today. We rely on God’s word to teach us, inspire us and help us to know and live like Jesus.
the TRINITY
We believe in the one true God revealed to us in the Bible, who is three persons -- Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God is Creator, Redeemer and Ruler of all. God the Father reigns over and cares for His creation, all are welcome to be His child. God the Son, Jesus, is the full revelation of God to us, He is our redemption, our truest Friend, and will return one day to make all things new. God the Holy Spirit dwells in God’s people, sealing our salvation, guiding us and empowering us to live a life of boldness!
the GOSPEL
We believe God created humans to be in a perfect relationship with Himself for eternity. God created us with the freedom of choice, but since the beginning we chose to go against God’s good plan for our relationship with Him; this is known as sin. Therefore, God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to reconcile us back to Him. Jesus lived a sinless life, died the death we deserved, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the word of God. God demonstrates His love for us, that while we were still sinners Christ died for us. We believe we are saved for eternal life by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. On Earth we are now workers for God’s Kingdom, ushering in His good news that Jesus saves and breaks all our chains!
THE LOCAL CHURCH
We believe God calls His children to be in relationship with one another as the living body of Christ. This happens in local churches where Christians gather to worship God, to grow, to serve, and to be known by each other intimately. We know Delight is not the church and want to encourage college women to be connected to all types of gospel-preaching churches.
UNITY
We believe in unity under the name of Jesus despite how divided our world and church is today. We choose to lay down our differences of opinions for the Kingdom no matter how difficult. We believe the church is made up of all ages, sexes, tribes, tongues and nations. We honor Jesus by loving others just like He loves them.
