Our desire is to teach and train the hearts of our students to love God, and to love others as they see opportunities to be the very presence of Jesus at home, school and at play!  We are passionate about helping students to grow in their faith through relationships – with God, caring adults, and with their peers.

TAILGATE WORSHIP GATHERING this SUNDAY, August 9 at 7:30PM at the Activities Center

Hey Students! Come out and welcome our new 6th Graders to Student Ministry this Sunday at the Tailgate Worship Gathering! We’ll say “Aloha” to our 6th Graders as they leave Kids Ministry and join Student Ministry ready for fun and adventure as they grow in faith!

On Sunday, August 23, we are starting our new “We Believe” Bible study series. This study will focus on some of our most foundational beliefs based around the ancient statements of “faith like the Nicene” and “apostles creed.” Many of us think differently about some of our beliefs, which is okay. These faith statements ground us in the big points of our faith, and have been passed down from some of the earliest Christian communities. Join us on Sunday nights for Bible study and discussion on what “we believe.”

Our Student Ministry (6th-12th grade) offers a variety of opportunities each week for students in middle and high school to become involved and get connected. We have food, hang time, great worship, and strong messages about real-life issues.

We want to help students discover the unique gifts and opportunities that God has given them for loving and serving the world in Jesus’ name.

Special Events & Missions

We have fun …
There are so many fun opportunities throughout the year to get plugged in! Activities for middle school and high school separately, and also combined fun as a large group. A few highlights during the year are DNOW Fall retreat, recreation fun, mission projects, concerts, movie nights, retreats, mission trips, and Edge of Adventure; gatherings designed especially for graduating seniors to help them prepare for life after high school.

We serve …
Being called to model Jesus’ example to SERVE others, all youth are invited on Tuesdays at 6 pm for our Feeding the Hungry Ministry downtown. Students can join the Student Leadership Team, or share their gift of music in the Youth Band.

We believe our mission field is not only the special mission trips during the year, but perhaps more importantly, we are called to show the love of Jesus and help others in the classroom, on the sports field and when hanging out with friends.
