Media Ministries exists to communicate relevant truth
through film, media and the Internet with the goal of
rekindling hope and vision for our nation's future,
our youth
Our
Vision
Through
our communications as an independent, nonprofit
Christian media organization, we endeavor to play a
part in shaping our nation's future by instilling in
people's minds a favorable image of God, life,
wholeness, health, honesty, responsibility, family,
community and world mission. We endeavor to have a
positive influence on our society's values and
culture by taking up a visionary and prophetic role
that is lacking today. We envision our role as that
of challenging and inspiring young people to:
·
Know of the truth,
· Achieve spiritual, emotional and relational
health,
· Become active participants, not spectators, in
overcoming our nation's challenges, and
· Invest personally in solving problems of
national and global scope, through creative
synergy with others and wise use of resources.
Values Overview
We are
committed to the truth and relevance of God's Word
the Bible as it relates to our complex world today.
Unique to this time in history, we believe God is
using and plans to continue using audiovisual media
as a special tool for bringing about redemption,
reconciliation and reconstruction at every level:
personal, family, community, national and global. We
take seriously our charge to communicate timely words
and practical vision in all our media productions,
with concern for quality, relevance and truthfulness.
We are compelled to develop a media strategy which
can exert a positive influence on our youth, and
stimulate our nation to fulfill its God-given
responsibilities to the world at large.
We desire to humbly serve our nation with love and
respect for all her many peoples and their roots, and
with sincerity and dedication for making a positive,
lasting difference in the social, cultural and
spiritual landscape. We work independently from other
ministries and agencies, yet are committed to open,
ongoing communication with them as needed for
creating mutual understanding and working partnership.
We are open to forming strategic alliances with
others where synergy and mutual benefit may be
realized in reaching a common, pressing goal.

Core Values
We
hold that God's written Word the Bible is sacred and
divinely inspired. It contains within its pages the
instructions and keys for resolving man's greatest
fears, conflicts and crises at every level, both
personal, family, community, network, national and
global. Through this Word, we are drawn into
personal, intimate relationship with the all-powerful
Creator of the universe, and derive from it all
knowledge, wisdom and power for living. This Word
guides us at IMM in all aspects of our ministry and
operation.
We believe that God has a plan to use audiovisual
media in its variety of forms to communicate his
heart of love for all nations and people, draw them
back into relationship with himself, enable them to
regain wholeness in life and community, and compel
them towards meaningful and rewarding service to
others.
We appreciate the vision and hard labor of the
countless people who, throughout the span of the
twentieth century, have made it possible for us today
to freely utilize media communications, including
film, video, television, radio, multimedia and the
Internet, to broadcast our convictions and dreams for
the future to audiences of all sizes, ages, ethnic
backgrounds and interests, in a manner that is
timely, meaningful, interesting and cost-effective.
In all our media production and distribution
activities, we highly value quality, good stewardship
of resources, people-orientation vs. task- or goal-orientation,
good rapport with our clients and audiences, and
commitment to truthfulness, honesty and clear
communication. Our aim is to serve the nation by
communicating relevant, practical, biblical truth
with prophetic and visionary impact.
We see the dire need to focus energy and resources
into shaping the lives of our nation's youth, for
they will carry this legacy into the future—and
they are our nation's future, with potential to shape
the world. We observe many destructive influences
pressing in on them: immorality in television and
film, pornography, gambling, gangs, substance abuse,
family violence, and the promotion of deviant
lifestyles, to name a few. We make it a priority to
use media as part of the overall strategy of
instilling into them the values and practices which
will enable them to contribute positively to their
families, communities, society and culture.
We acknowledge the God-given calling and
responsibility our nation has to the world at large.
We recognize that many nations and peoples are
seemingly cut off from God's many blessings that he
intends for them, and we know there is a part for us
to play in setting this right. We feel that many
people in our nation will realize some of their
greatest significance in life when they become
actively involved in creatively using their time,
talents and assets to help bridge the gap between
where the world's peoples suffer and struggle, and
God's highest and best for them.
