CONSTITUTION OF OSU NEW BREED CHRISTIAN OUTREACH
ORGANIZATION
Article I: NAME AND PURPOSE OF THIS ORGANIZATION:
Section 1. The name of this organization is New Breed
Section 2. The Purpose of this Organization:
New Breed is an Ohio State University outreach designed to enable students to build a
foundation in biblically based principals relevant to today’s world. The doctrine New
Breed advocates is exclusively reflective and parallel to the Bible and the Gospel of Jesus
Christ. The members of New Breed are those who have made these principals central to
their lives as students and professionals. The first goal of New Breed is to provide
students with knowledge of a thoroughly Christian worldview while unveiling the
erroneous worldview that much of the population has been mislead to adopt and accept.
The second goal of New Breed is to disciple individuals as they walk and grow in their
relationship with Christ and assist them in uncovering the purpose that God has for their
lives.
Article II- DOCTRINAL BASIS
Section 1. The basis of this organization is founded on the principal’s of the below
statement:
We believe that Christ came to this earth as a seed to be sown into the earth to die upon
the cross as a holy, living sacrifice, so that humankind could be redeemed back to God,
their Creator, by laying down their life and receiving his. We believe that we are
redeemed by the pure blood that was shed on the cross and that our sins have been
washed away by the cleansing power of the blood.
We live and abide in obedience according to the word of God. We live consecrated lives
before God and have sacrificed ourselves to fulfilling the will of God in the earth. As
heirs of Christ, we believe that the same miracles Christ performed in the earth shall also
be performed by us. We believe that the same power that raised Jesus Christ from the
dead also lives within us, and it is by that power that we have been set free and can also
set others free.
We are a part of the great commission of Christians dedicated seek and to save that
which is lost as Jesus did and as he directed his disciples to do also (Luke 19:10). We are
disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ and we accept the responsibility to preach the gospel of
Christ to all creation. As disciples, we believe we are purposefully set aside to come out
from among those in the world to set the captives free, to lay hands on the sick and they
be healed, to walk in signs, wonders and miracles, the blind shall see (Mark 16:15-18).
We believe that the Holy Spirit is a person who dwells in the earth today to advance the
will of God in the earth. We believe that as Christians, we have received the Holy Spirit
on our own bodies in order to be faithful vessels to the will and plan of God in the earth.
We believe that it is by this same Spirit that God works miracles through us to bring
healing to the sick and freedom for the captives.
