Growing together.

Whoever you are, wherever you're from, you are welcome here.

Our Student Ministry is made up of students grade 6 through 12. We seek to nurture the growth of young disciples in our church and our community. The core of the Youth Ministry is built around our weekly Sunday School, Wednesday night "PRIMETIME" Bible Studies, and a never ending stream of special events. We also place a very high emphasis on student leadership.
