ABOUT MOMENTUM
MINISTRY PARTNERS

Our Ministries

Our president, Jeff Bogue, shares how God is using the ministries of Momentum Ministry Partners and how you can get involved!

MOMENTUM MINISTRY PARTNERS IS A CATALYST IN LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT.

Momentum Ministry Partners encompasses Momentum Youth Conference, Momentum Urban Centers (Philadelphia and LA), Grace College Akron, Momentum PRO, and Momentum Marketplace. We believe in the power of the local church and are committed to partnering together because we recognize the church as God’s primary tool for fulfilling the Great Commission and the Great Commandment. We desire to help local churches raise up leaders who build healthy churches and amplify kingdom impact. We recognize that healthy churches not only have vocational ministry professionals but also consist of missional marketplace leaders.

85% OF PASTORS ARE CURRENTLY 40 YEARS OLD OR OLDER. 50% OF PASTORS ARE CURRENTLY 55 YEARS OLD OR OLDER.

In less than a decade, 50% of pastors will be of retirement age. In 20 years, 85% of pastors will be of retirement age. The church must impact this generation NOW in order to raise up strong future leaders to take the place of these retirees!

OUR VISION IS TO SEE 3,000 VOCATIONAL MINISTRY PROFESSIONALS AND 10,000 MISSIONAL MARKETPLACE LEADERS CALLED INTO SERVICE IN THE NEXT 20 YEARS WHO ARE BEING EQUIPPED AND SENT OUT. WE ARE YOUR PARTNERS IN TRAINING!

We will work to fulfill this vision through the following ministry programs:

YOUTH CONFERENCE

Challenging students through life-changing sessions and hands-on ministry.

URBAN CENTERS

An urban experience that equips in transferable evangelism principles.

Grace College Akron

Resourcing and training ministry leaders for maximum impact.

MARKETPLACE

Pairing high school students with missional marketplace leaders for mentorship.

MOMENTUM EXISTS TO PARTNER WITH THE LOCAL CHURCH. WE PROVIDE CRUCIAL MINISTRY EXPERIENCES TO EQUIP TODAY’S CHRISTIAN LEADERS FOR TOMORROW’S OPPORTUNITIES.

What We
Believe

The Center

We declare that Jesus Christ, the incarnate Word of God, as revealed in the Bible, the written Word of God, is the only Savior and Lord. He is the center of our shared experience of true Biblical unity.

The Evangelical Core

We affirm our commitment to the following core truths of the Bible which we share with other genuine believers in Jesus Christ:

The One True God

There is one, and only one, true God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He is the Creator and Lord of all, existing eternally in three persons, never less and never more – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The Lord Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is fully God, existing eternally. Everything was created by Him and for Him. His incarnation took place in the womb of a virgin. He became man, but never sinned. He died a substitutionary death to atone for sin, resurrected bodily, and ascended into heaven where He remains fully God and fully man, and is presently ministering until He comes again.

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is fully God, existing eternally. He is a person, and was involved in Creation and the inspiration of Scripture. His works of convicting and regenerating are essential to the believer’s salvation. Believers are entitled to the benefit and joy of being filled and walking in the Spirit for empowerment in Christian life, service, and mission.

the Bible

The sixty-six books, and only these, known as the Old and New Testaments, are the written Word of God. God’s inspiration and superintendence of the writing of every word of the Bible guarantees that what was written is His Word and therefore authoritative, true, and without error in the original manuscripts. God preserves His Word, which is powerful and effective to accomplish His purpose of salvation among all nations. God’s Spirit illumines the minds of believers in every culture to understand and apply the unchanging truth of Scripture in fresh and relevant ways for the benefit of the whole Body of Christ.

Humanity

God created man and woman in His image. As a result, all people are bearers of that image. However, Adam’s subsequent sin resulted in a condition of spiritual death which all people since Adam have experienced, marring the beauty of God’s image in them in every facet of life.

This condition of spiritual death has rendered all people unable to save themselves, and leads to physical death. Therefore, new birth is necessary for salvation.

Salvation

The salvation brought by God is a complete and eternal salvation by His grace alone, received as the free gift of God through personal faith alone in the Lord Jesus Christ and His finished work, as he declares believers righteous in Him.

The Church

There exists one true Church, which is called the Household of God, the Body of Christ, and the Temple of the Holy Spirit. It is comprised of all true disciples of Jesus Christ, and is created by the action of the Holy Spirit. Tangible expressions of this true Church are found in local church.

The Christian Life

Believer is saved by faith alone. The faith that saves is expected to produce obedience and good works, which are the products of the indwelling Holy Spirit. The dimensions of biblical ethics are both individual and social, and extend to every facet of life. God faithfully continues to finish the work of sanctification, which He initiated in the life of each believer with the goal of Christ likeness.

Angels, Satan, Demons

God created a multitude of spiritual beings called “angels”. Righteous angels continue to serve God and work both in the heavenly sphere and on earth. By his disobedience, Satan, a fallen angel, became the adversary of God and God’s people, carrying with him a procession of demons. Jesus Christ has overcome Satan so that the final judgment and doom of Satan and his demons are certain.

Future Life

The dead will have a conscious existence in eternity and their bodies will be resurrected. Unbelievers, already under condemnation, will be sentenced to suffer eternal separation from God. Believers, already having been granted eternal life, will be judged and rewarded according to their works, and will experience a glorified, eternal existence in the presence of the Lord.
