Our Ministry Philosophy
We believe Student Ministry is for belonging — to God and to each other! Our goal is to partner with parents and caregivers to nurture the faith of our young people (7th-12th graders). If we could hope one thing for the students in this ministry, we would hope that they grow in their ability to recognize God in the everyday and ordinary moments of their lives. Together, we will work to grow in discipleship, community, and prayer!
