The 7 Checkpoints
On the road of life, we need to stop and look at critical checkpoints to make sure we are on the right track. Cars have gauges, in construction there are measurements... in the life of a teenager, we have checkpoints that serve as 7 key principles from God's Truth to lead students to be touched by God and for them to touch the world.


Authentic Faith
This checkpoint focuses on a correct understanding of faith: how to trust and depend on God.
God can be trusted because He can and will do all that He has promised to do.
Key Scripture: Proverbs 3:5-6

Spiritual Disciplines
As students begin to renew their mind through spiritual habits, their attitude and behaviors will change. Spiritual Disciplines is all about making your relationship with God and studying scripture and important part of your daily schedule.  When you see as God sees, you will do as God says.
Key Scripture: Romans 12:2

Moral Boundaries
Purity paves the way to intimacy.  Helping students establish limits on personal desires for the sake of their future potential.
Key Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8

Healthy Friendships
The people students associate with will determine the direction and quality of their life.  Having healthy friendships is learning to develop relationships which encourage a positive lifestyle and spiritual growth.
Key Scripture: Proverbs 13:20

Ultimate Authority
Freedom and authority are often thought of as opposite concepts.  Scripture teaches that we find the most freedom when we operate under the umbrella of authority by choosing to respect and follow the leaders God has put in your life.
Key Scripture: Romans 13:1-2

Wise Choices
In light of past experiences and future dreams, students need to ask,"What is the wise thing for me to do?" We need to understand how to make decisions which are based on God's perspective rather than our own.
Key Scripture: Ephesians 5:15-17

Others First
Selfishness is natural.  Selflessness must be learned.  The maturity of a believer can often be measured by the willingness to put the needs of others ahead of their own.  Establish a personal vision to make a difference in the lives of others.
Key Scripture: Philippians 2:3-11
