Hey Parents,
This website includes our program descriptions, schedules of events and media outlets. We try and provide many activities and connectivity for students because we think relational ministry is most effective to today’s youth culture.
Our mission as a church has been simply coined as “To bring every person to completion in Christ.” This value is the benchmark for everything we do. Proverbs 29:18 (KJV) says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” We want to set a clear course for where we are headed.
We believe that when students know who God truly is they will respond to Him by serving and sharing Jesus. Also in order to create more effective seeking of Jesus we are creating many opportunities for students to be involved in our ministry with the hopes of stimulating a more intimate and committed community.
We want to relate to students on their level in words that they understand. Today’s youth culture needs genuine relationships and practical instruction on how to live. We pray that our students, just as Paul prayed for the church of Ephesus, may have the eyes of their hearts opened in order that they may know the hope they have been called to, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for those who believe (Eph. 1: 18-19a).
We view our students as more than just a “youth group”. We regard this time of life as more than just a time to keep church fun and interesting. We hope to encourage them to be more than just moral upstanding citizens. Our desire is to implore your children to be godly, not good. We want your children to be ministered to and learn to minister to others. We want to partner with you as parents to develop your children into “instruments of righteousness” that bring glory to God.
Below are some Links to some very important document that you my find helpful to your child’s involvement in our ministry.
