More about this club:
They claim to be inter-denominational but are blatantly fundamentalist protestant. A liberal Christian, a Mormon, a Catholic or an Orthodox Christian would be uncomfortable there. They may also be a target to be converted to the "correct" form of Christianity.
At their meetings youth pastors, pastors, senior pastors, worship leaders, anti-abortionists and evangelists give "testimonies" and evangelize.
The purpose of this group is not discussion, but conversion.
They run in middle schools and high schools, so children as young as 11 are targeted.
This is a network of clubs ran by local churches and church leaders. They have a board of directors made up of adults. They run their offices out of a local church. They calls themselves a non-profit faith ministry but accept donations. They have their own private mailing address, phone number, and email.
The clubs report to headquarters how many students have been converted.
They teach absolute bible ineranncy.
The clubs are supported by school faculty.
Students are supposed to invite five non-Christian friends to meeting: 2 friends, two acquaintances, and one person who is struggling.
Website gives directions on how to be missionaries at your school.
Quotes from various websites and pages.
"church-based, campus-centered, evangelistic ministry."
"To reach students today we must go where they are."
"focused outreach plan that enables local churches to help students create an environment to share the gospel with friends at school."
"This effort is a plan to incorporate students who say “YES” to Jesus Christ at school into local churches...your local church."
This is bizarre:

That's a manual for a different club in a completely different area, yet they have they same goal, the same "cool" one world title, the same gimmicks, and parts of the manual are completely the same. They have the same cycles of different clubs weeks with different names for each meeting and the same response cards.
