From that survey came a list of nine core values.

1. Sabbath:  We are committed to providing a meaningful Sabbath experience.
2. Discipleship:  We are committed to discipleship through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
3. Acceptance:  We are committed to accepting people just as Jesus did.
4. Community:  We are committed to building community.
5. Support: We are committed to supporting young adults with their life challenges.
6. Service:  We are committed to demonstrating God’s love through acts of service.
7. Leadership:  We are committed to young adult leadership.
8. Budget:  We are committed to investing money in young adult ministry.
9. Change:  We are committed to change that leads to improved young adult ministry.

This is the basic, streamlined list, but they are broader and deeper.  [For a more comprehensive understanding of the meaning of the above, read the article--GM.]
