Overview of the Student Ministry

Our VISION 

•    A community of transformed people living for Jesus Christ (Col. 1:28)

Our Mission

•    To lead students to live for Jesus Christ (Phil. 1:21) 

Our Strategy

•    Create atmospheres of worship (John 4:15-26)

•    Build small groups of community (Acts 2:41-47)

•    Provide opportunities to live on mission (Mt. 28:18-20)   

On a weekly basis, we encourage students to be a part of our worship experience called ELEVATE where they experience both an atmosphere of worship and small groups of community (called LifeGroups).  LifeGroups are small groups of students divided by grade and gender that meet with an adult leader.  Elevate includes food, games, a live band and relevant bible study and is a great way to connect with other teenagers.  It takes place from 6:30-8:30 on Wednesday nights at the church.  Junior High Students (6-8th grade) begin in the main building with their LifeGroups and finish at the Warehouse (our student ministry facility located on the west end of the building with the entrance facing Tinseltown).  Senior High students (9-12th grade) begin in the Warehouse with their worship experience and then transition to the main building with their LifeGroups. 

We encourage students to be a part of the church wide worship experience on Sundays at 9:15 or 11:00 am to worship with their family or friends.  We also encourage students to be a part of i-Serve on Sunday mornings by serving on a ministry team such as 121 Kids, Preschool, Greeting, etc.  To learn more about I-Serve opportunities, contact .

In addition to these weekly environments, we have special events throughout the year such as weekend retreats, summer camp, camping trips, etc.  Keep up to date with these events by checking the website, reading the weekly student ministry e-mail update (e-mail to be added), or going to our online student ministry calendar.
