Student Ministry
We strive to be a student body that prioritizes “being the Church” as opposed to just “showing up to Church.”
In their teens, students often begin to explore their faith. Here at the Student Ministry, we hope to use this time of exploration to solidify their walk with Christ so they are ready for what the world has for them post-graduation!
We offer weekly Sunday morning and Wednesday youth group gatherings where students can enjoy community, biblical teaching, games, and service opportunities. We also have plenty of other ways for students to get plugged in during the year. These include special events, camps, mission trips, bible studies, mentorship, student leadership teams, and more.
Some of our special events during the year include Summer Sizzle, volunteering at our children’s Camp Catapult, Senior High Christmas in KC, and the Senior High Mission Trip.

Intern with us!
Our summer interns are college-age men and women who have completed at least their freshman year of college and desire to stretch and grow in their faith and leadership as they create and nurture God-honoring relationships with middle and high school students. Our interns also plan and execute a robust offering of summer events and retreats for our students.
