Creating environments for students to know, grow, and serve Jesus

Our student ministries offer great opportunities to get to know other middle and high school students and grow in relationship with Jesus. We break out into small groups and studies, go on retreats, get crazy with events, gather during the week, and serve as a team — all to pursue God and love people!
