Vision Statement

Vision Statement

“Partnering with parents to develop Junior High and High School students into mature servants for Christ.”

GO DEEPER

Glorification
We seek to develop student worshippers of God who understand that, beyond public worship through song, there is the passionate life of quiet obedience that is the heart of worship.

Outreach
We seek to develop students who have a heart for people outside the walls of the church. We create opportunities to expose the youth to people in need so that they develop compassion and learn how to deliver God’s message of hope through actions as well as words.

Discipleship
We seek to develop students through one-to-one interaction with mature adult believers over a long period of time. Through this process the youth are brought to the point of being trained to disciple others, resulting in spiritual multiplication.

Evangelism
We seek to develop students who have a heart for the lost and are able to communicate their faith through scripture, personal testimony, and faithful living.

Equipping
We seek to develop students who are able to understand Scripture and apply its truths in their daily living. We do not believe in “spoon-feeding” teenagers, but rather challenging them to engage God’s Word on a deep and personal level.

Prayer
We seek to develop students who have a daily, personal relationship with God. We also seek to develop among them the habit of praying for one another.

Encouragement
We seek to develop students by recognizing their individual talents and spiritual gifts and giving them opportunities to use them to build up the body of Christ.

Relationships
We seek to develop students who build relationships with other believers that help sustain them in their Christian walk through prayer, encouragement, fellowship, mutual self-sacrifice, and accountability.
