Welcome!
Student Life meets on Sunday from 4:30-6pm during the school year. We want students to experience the life-changing love of Jesus and make an impact in their community. Students will connect with other students and invested adults to learn what it means to have a relationship with Jesus. We have fun together through games and experiences, we grow in our faith through God’s Word and worship, and we encourage and challenge each other in small groups.
Our Core Values
IDENTITY
We want students to know they are defined by who God says we are. They were created on purpose for a purpose, and they are so loved by Him. Their story matters.
COMMUNITY
We value our Student Life community of students and leaders. We want students to develop friendships that challenge them and encourage them to go deeper in their faith journey. We have dedicated small group leaders who invest in our students. We partner with parents recognizing that each student’s family has the greatest influence on their student’s faith journey.
MISSION
God’s Word is life-changing. We want our students to understand His Word in a way that shapes their hearts and minds to be more like Him. We want them to know why they believe what they believe and live it out. We encourage them to share their faith story and be influencers and leaders.
