About Counter Culture

Counter Culture Ministries is a group that was
founded to be exactly what
it sounds like - counter to the culture around us.

Counter Culture (koun´ter kul´cher) - the culture of those young people
whose lifestyle is opposed to that of the mainstream society.

Romans 12:2 says something similar:
Do not be conformed to this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

We believe that God exists and that He wants to play a very strong role in our lives. God's given us the ability to make a difference in the world around us - it's our responsibility to take what we've been given and use it!

Sometimes the best way to describe what you are like, is to tell what you're not like.

Here's what we aren't:

Mainstream Culture:

"Just go with the flow."
"I won't bother trying 'cause I can't win anyway."
"I'll do just enough to get by."
"I'm looking out for number one."

Mainstream Church:

Talking the talk, but not walking the walk
Focusing too much inside the church walls - not in the real world
Meet with God but leave the same

So, we're Young Adults that want to make a difference.
Take a look around the rest of the Counter Culture web site to find out how.

Or better yet, experience it for yourself at the Rēf.

Mondays @ 7:30 PM

You won't leave the same way.

Counter Culture Ministries

Don't conform. Don't follow the crowd.

Be relevant...

We search for truth and aren't afraid to ask tough questions.

It's not about rules and regulations.
It's about finding significance and being real.

Living counter to the world we live in, and counter to
the way things have been done in the past.

It's about changing the world we live in and making a difference.
It's about being revolutionary...

Jesus Christ is the ultimate example of this.
He turned His world upside-down, and it's never been the same since.
He wasn't weak, hypocritical, or boring.
He was someone who did radical things, unselfishly, and didn't have to prove himself to anyone.

We believe Jesus Christ was exactly who HE said he was - God's own son.
He's a God that loves you and made you.
He made you to count for something, and have a relationship with Himself.
He's got a plan for you and wants YOU to change the world.

Counter Culture is about Jesus Christ. Living for Him and getting to know Him in a deeper way - every day! Serving others and being a light to the world should be a direct result of this. God is doing something new, and it is the desire of the young adults at Central Tabernacle to be a part of it. Going against the flow and pressures of this world, to do what God wants us to do, regardless of the circumstances, obstacles, cost, or consequences.

Counter Culture Ministries provides ways to be "Filled-up" by God in our lives so we can be effective in "Pouring-out" to others. Counter Culture Ministries consists of Young Adults who are tired of just coasting through life. It's time to get off our butts and start making a difference in this world. We know our salvation is secure, but we realize that if we aren't actively making efforts to lead others to Christ then our lives are a waste of time.

Without God, we can't do anything. It is only by His power and Holy Spirit that we are able to be effective. Meditating on His Word everyday and continually strengthening your relationship with Jesus is the only way to be Filled-up. This requires determination, discipline and perseverance - No one can do this but YOU!

"Pouring-out" is the second-half of the Counter Culture vision and is equally important as the first part. Pouring-out means using what God has given us to make a difference in this world. Making the best use of our time here on earth to maximize our contribution to God's Kingdom. We want to invest our lives in areas that will have an eternal impact. Many Outreach Opportunities have been developed to help young adults achieve this effectively.
