Who Is Club Beyond For? Club Beyond is open to ALL Middle School and High School students. ID cards are not checked for normal activities (weekly Club or Small Group) but may be required from some trips and events in conjunction with Air Force/DOD requirements. |
||
Do You Have to Be A Christian To Come To Club Beyond? Nope. Club Beyond is open to ALL Middle School and High School students. You do not have to belong to a particular church, believe in a particular religion, or be a member of a certain organization. Club Beyond IS a Christian group, and we uphold Christian values - that's who we are, come and share with us who you are. |
||
Is Club Beyond associated with a particular church or denomination? Nope. Club Beyond is non-denominational and is not sponsored by or associated with any particular church or denomination. Club Beyond is a Christian group based on Biblical Christ-centered teaching, and works in conjunction with Military Chaplains. We do not teach doctrine specific to a particular church or denomination. For example, we do not teach specifically Baptist or Methodist or Lutheran or Pentacostal or Episcopalian or Nazarene or Presbyerian or AOG doctrine. We simply promote Biblically founded salvation through Christ. We do actively encourage students to express their faith with their families and encourage chapel participation. |
||
Does Club Beyond support mandatory Tea-Times? We at Club Beyond do feel that tea is an important part of life and that making time for it can only be beneficial. Tea is naturally high in anti-oxidants and that's good for something or other. If nothing else it will apparently keep you from oxidizing (rusting). While we certainly wouldn't go so far as to impose penalties on those who do not observe tea time, we will make every effort to make tea available at proper times (morning, noon, 3pm, and evening) while on trips, camps, and events. Club Beyond personally recommends Typhoo, Ceylon, Darjeeling, and Assam teas with a dash of milk and one to two sugars. |
||
Can Catholics come to Club Beyond? Club Beyond (MCYM) is a partnership between YoungLife, Youth for Christ, and the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry. This partnership enables us to provide youth ministry expertise from a wealth of resources and experience. The teaching at Club Beyond events is ecumenical, it is desiged to be appropriate for both Protestant and Catholic participants. Club Beyond do provide specific events and retreats for Catholic students and volunteers. The annual ECYC (European Catholic Youth Conference) as well as support for World Youth Day are examples of these initiatives. |
||
Does it cost anything to come to Club Beyond? Club Beyond does not have any "membership fees" or any other regular charges. Weekly Clubs and Small groups including food are free. We simply ask that you bring yourself, your enthusiasm, and an open mind. Some events and trips do have a cost associated with them. Those that do will state the cost in the registration package or permission slip. Even when events do have a cost it is usually significantly subsidized out of our operating budget maintaned through Incirlik Chapel. A significant portion of the funding for our budgets comes from Chapel Tithes and Offerings. |
