The following are the principles guiding the CEYU just as stated by Francis E. Clark, the founder of the Worldwide Christian Endeavor Unions; this has remained relevant to our time and context:
Mission:
For Christ and The Church.
Goal:
Christ-centered youth-oriented ministry that exist to help the local church to reach the youths with the message of Jesus Christ. Empowering the youth to be effective disciples in faith and preparing them for Christian service in their respective local churches and community in the Gambia. This cut across denominations, culture, race and even geographical boundaries.
The CEYU Principles:
Confession of Christ
Service for Christ
Loyalty to Christ’s Church
Fellowship with Christ’s People
The CEYU Pledge:
Trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ for strength, I promise Him that I will strive to do whatever He would like to have me do; that I will make it the rule of my life to pray and to read the Bible every day, and to support the work and worship of my own church in every way possible; and that just so far as I know how, throughout my whole life, I will endeavor to lead a Christian life.
As an active member I promise to be true to all my duties, to be present at and to take some part, aside from singing, in every Christian Endeavor meeting, unless hindered by some reason which I can conscientiously give to my Lord and Master, Jesus Christ. If obliged to be absent from the monthly consecration meeting of the society, I will, if possible, send at least a verse of Scripture to be read in response to my name at the roll call.
