student ministry

We have a passion for helping students see that the God of the universe sees them as valuable, and because of that, we can live differently. Students connect to Jesus through worship, serving, telling, connecting, growing --- and fun!

We believe in, and are committed to, whole families worshiping together on Sunday mornings. Therefore, we encourage students, to worship with their own family on Sunday mornings at one of our three different morning worship services.
