Our Statement of Faith
Christians
Involved Together With Youth (C.I.T.Y.)'s purpose is to clearly affirm the
commitment of our organization to the Christian faith. The love of Jesus Christ
motivates us in this servant ministry to which He has
called us, and we invite into this fellowship all those who wish to give their
time, talent and treasure in the accomplishment of this ministry.

We believe that there is one God, eternally
existent in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
-
We believe the Bible to be inspired, and
the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
-
We believe in the deity of Christ, His virgin
birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death through
His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand
of the Father and His personal return in power and glory.
- We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people,
regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
- We believe in the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian
is enabled to live a godly life.
- We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the
lost, they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are
lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
- We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord
Jesus Christ.
History
The vision for C.I.T.Y. was inspired
by six men who held their first meeting August 7, 1989. These men were clergy
and laymen from the Prince William County area, who were concerned about the
effects of drugs and violence on the youth growing up within our communities,
particularly, the Georgetown South community. These men walked the streets
of Georgetown South both individually and collectively, talking to the youth
and making themselves a visible, positive presence. Since that time, many
others have been inspired to join in this ministry for our youth.
