Student Ministries

The purpose of our church's youth ministry is to create a vibrant and inclusive community where young individuals can explore, deepen, and express their faith in a supportive and uplifting environment. We aim to nurture spiritual growth, foster meaningful connections, and equip youth with the values, knowledge, and skills needed to navigate life's challenges with resilience and compassion. Through engaging programs, dynamic worship experiences, and service opportunities, our youth ministry seeks to inspire a love for God, a passion for serving others, and a sense of belonging within the larger church family.

Overall, we are passionate about guiding students to an understanding of who Jesus is, and helping them discover what living a life sold out for Him looks like. When your student attends any of our student ministry events or programs they will be greeted by adults who are there just to get to know the students. They care about each one of these students, and are excited to teach them about life connected to Jesus. 

Below is a laid out method of how we achieve our mission of "Leading students into a growing relationship with Christ, through intentional relationships."

Connecting

1. Introduce the Gospel - Know and share the story of Jesus and his great love for them.

2. Share our stories - We (the leaders) share our stories to help students see how God has worked in our lives.

3. Get to know their story - The more we know the students in our ministry the more we can minister to them and lead them to Jesus.

Living

1. Model Christ - We want to live out our faith and be Godly examples.

2. Help students find their gifts - We desire for our students to learn how they can serve God and other people.

3. Introduce them to places to act - We desire to help our students find opportunities to serve and live out their faith.

Encounter

Wednesdays • 7pm - 9pm (September thru april)

Encounter is our weekly programming for 7th thru 12th grade students during the school year. Here is a little bit of what to expect at Encounter:

• Hang out in the gym

• Lesson centered around the Word of God

• Small groups for students to discuss the lesson and of course food!

Encounter is a great place for students to encounter God and to interact with friends and leaders who want to share the love of Jesus with them.

Sunday School ( Sundays @ 9am)

Youth Sunday school is a welcoming and engaging space designed for middle and high school students to grow in their faith. It combines Bible study, meaningful discussions, and interactive activities to help students explore Scripture and its relevance to their lives. The class often includes group discussions, prayer, and lessons tailored to address the unique challenges and questions young people face. Youth Sunday School aims to build a strong spiritual foundation, foster friendships, and encourage students to apply their faith in their everyday lives.
