Student MinistrY
You can come and sit at our lunch table anytime. . .
Our goal for Youth is to see all students intentionally choose to pursue God through establishing a relationship with Jesus. To this end, within our Youth Ministry we strive to create opportunities for youth to share their questions, their dreams, their ideas. We see opportunities for youth to share their life with others as they experience the wonders of a personal relationship with Christ. We facilitate opportunities for youth by encouraging individual growth through worship, Bible study, community service and participation in international and domestic missions.
