The 3 C's in Action!
Biblical Teaching
The Bible is God’s gift to His creation for the purpose in knowing Him. It is the ultimate source of truth and is applicable and relevant to all people today. Because of that, we believe teaching students the Bible is of the utmost importance. All student meetings will be centrally focused on the teaching and application of Scripture.
Special Events & Projects
Throughout the year we will have many fun events and projects for our students! Whether it’s summer camp, mission trips, baseball games, nerf wars, painting parties, or just getting food! All of our events are posted on the student ministry calendar and our social media pages.
Small Groups
Small groups are one of the primary means of deeper discipleship for our students. Small Groups are groups of students that are based on gender & age. (Example: 9th & 10th grade guys, 6th grade girls, etc.)
Outreach
One of our primary callings as Christians is reaching people with the truth of the gospel! We are creating opportunities to reach out into our communities and serve those around us with the hope of them coming to know Jesus!
Church Integration
We believe that a vital part of student ministry is the church as a whole. A healthy student ministry is a student ministry that is involved in the life of the whole church. We want our students to be involved in Sunday morning church services and church events so they can experience the entirety of the local church and meet and learn from our more seasoned saints!
