2000 Strong Youth for Christ
Leading youth to the knowledge of Jesus Christ
About Us
Mission Statement
2000 Strong Youth for Christ is dedicated to bringing youth to a relationship with Jesus Christ
Our mission is to spiritually uplift and guide youth to a greater understanding and knowledge of Jesus Christ . We are tireless in our efforts to help youth learn how to find the straight and narrow path that will lead them to the love of God . Our faith based outreach serves youth grades 3-12 of all races, creeds, and religions.
Just as the Lord speaks as with the voice of a multitude, 2000 Strong started with a dream of several people - to bring youth to the knowledge of the Scriptures and of Jesus Christ, and to increase their faith; our belief that we are led by Jesus Christ for the specific purpose of serving the youth has brought us together to witness and want to share the good news of the gospel - as found in the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and the Doctrine and Covenants
2000 Strong Youth for Christ is a non profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to teaching the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ to young people from all walks of life. Everyone associated with 2000 Strong believes in the truth of the Book of Mormon and Holy Bible as witnesses of the divinity of Jesus Christ; we believe it to be our duty and privilege to reach out to youth in trying to make a difference in their lives through worship, Scripture study, fellowship, physical activities and just plain ordinary clean fun! Our nine member board is extraordinary - it is comprised of six former church pastors, a set of identical twins, a twenty-five year police officer. One was a college All-American athlete, three used to play in rock'n roll bands, and another is flight attendant. There is a former city manager and there is a man who drives big rigs for a living. As diverse as we are, there we have several things in common. We love Jesus, we love each other, and we love young people. And our singular driving purpose is to help bring them the Christ - to nurture and love them, and help guide them along the path of life, and to help put them in a position to taste the fruit of the Tree of Life - which is God's love. It is our pleasure to help them learn to experience the love, joy, and peace found through a
relationship with our Lord - and to develop a love for the Scriptures.
We are all volunteer and currently have two chapters of 2000 Strong Youth For Christ.
2000 Strong Youth for Christ is a proud member of the Center for Nonprofit Management and the One Star Foundation.
We will be happy to send you information regarding our Board of Directors, literature on our organization, and how you can get involved in our various projects, including starting a chapter in your area. Please email team@2000strong.us
Our membership is growing at a steady pace. With this growth, we have been able to accomplish more, and have a larger impact upon the youth we serve. We welcome you with open arms. Please inquire today about how you can become a cherished part of our faith based family.
2000 STRONG
Many years ago, in the lands of Central America as documented in the Book of Mormon, a man named Helaman was very worried because wars between his people – the Nephites - and those of neighboring lands – the Lamanites - were getting worse and worse. For many years, the Lamanites had been fighting with the Nephites. City after city had fallen, and Helaman knew he would have to have some help if he and his people were to survive. One day, a group of men came up to him in church. These were the same men who had promised God that they would never again take up weapons for war. “Helaman, something must be done. Your people have protected us for many years, but now they need our help. We’re ready to pick up our swords and join the armies to protect your cities. If we don’t, we’ll all lose our freedom!” they cried. “Good people, I’m touched by your love and concern,” replied Helaman,”but you must not break the promise you made with God! If you do, you’ll be sorry later.” As he said this, many young men stepped forward. One of them said,” Our fathers shouldn’t fight, but WE didn’t promise. We’re young and strong. None of us likes war, but if we want to be free, we’ll have to help you fight the Lamanites." ”But you’ve never fought before. It will be very dangerous to go up against such large armies,” said Helaman to all of these brave young men. "We are not afraid, sir!” they all cried. “Our mothers have taught us to have faith in God, and we know He’ll take care of us.” Soon Helaman and his 2,000 brave young soldiers - stripling warriors - were marching to join other Nephite armies. They loved their new leader and called him “Father.” Helaman, in turn, called them his “sons.” Helaman and his 2000 sons fought many battles. What strength they had! How brave they all were! Although many Nephites were killed, not one of Helaman’s sons was.
They were the 2000 Strong!
Helaman's sons were 2000 Strong
