What's the Point?

Purpose Statement? Mission Statement? Vision Statement? Motto? What is the difference? I have no idea. But lately I've been thinking our youth group needs a simple and clear statement that summarizes our purpose. In the past our purpose statement has been:

Impact Student Ministries exists to Influence students to Meet others needs, Praise God with their lives, Actively grow in their faith, Connect with other believers, and Tell others about Jesus Christ.

It's not bad. It certainly covers all the bases, but it is long and hard to remember. We won't throw it out, but we do need something more concise and clear. Here's what I have so far:

We reflect God’s glory to our friends, our families, & our campuses.

What do you think? At least it's a start. Feel free to submit your own or rewrite my suggestion. I would love to hear your thoughts.
