Our Values

• Character over competition: Our intentional focus is on knowing Jesus and becoming more like Him.
• People over programs: We exist for our communities ... at CYT, we long to see strangers become neighbors and neighbors become community. We love God, and we love and value His people.
• Service over spotlight: CYT exists for opportunities to know and see needs, and to meet them as the body of Christ. We see leadership through the lens of servant leadership, as best demonstrated in the person and work of Jesus.
  
• Excellence over ego: We value giving God our first and our best. Excellence is our simplest expression of giving the gifts and talents God has blessed us with back to Him.
