#URCSA_CENTURION Know your ministries – #CYM

1. NAME: Christian Youth Ministry (CYM)

2. MOTTO: The Youth of Christ and His Church

3. FOUNDATION: The CYM is based on the Bible as the unfailing Word of God and the doctrine that the church confesses, as contained in the three formularies of unity, namely the Belgic Confession, the Heidelberg Catechism, the Doctrinal Rules of Dordt and also the Confession of Belhar (1986).

4. GOAL: The CYM as a service organisation of the Christian Education (CE) in the Uniting Reformed Church in Southern Africa aims to form the church youth to become spiritual adult members of the body of Christ, who are competent in the doctrine, active in the mission, service and sacrifice.

In order to achieve this goal every member of the organisation aims to:
- Live in compliance with the will of God according to the Holy Scripture;
- Be a true witness for Christ and never to be ashamed of the gospel of Christ;
- Go out into the practical life and tell the world that Christ can and will liberate her from sin, suffering and oppression;
- Remain faithful to the doctrine of the URCSA which every member must confess and regularly attend the gatherings of the church, the church services and prayer meetings;
- Regularly attend the meetings of the organisation and faithfully attend to the responsibilities and activities that arise from his/her membership of the CYM;
- Preserve and conserve the environment, which is God’s creation.

5. UNIFORM – FEMALES:
- A black head-dress, white blouse, black skirt, black stockings, black shoes and a covering over the shoulders with the CYM badge and the words “CYM” embroidered on it in golden thread.

6. UNIFORM – MALES:
- Black shoes, black pants, a white shirt with a black tie and jacket. The CYM badge will also be worn with this uniform.
