It is our goal in the student ministry to work with the parents and not replace them. The goal of this ministry is that our students will grow into fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. This is best done in the context of the family. What a child learns from his parents is crucial, and be sure every child learns something from his parents, after all the apple does not fall far from the tree. Therefore, it is our goal that the student ministry is a place that reaffirms what is being taught in the home (sometimes it takes someone else to say it in order for hearing to work).
    We realize that not all families are as equipped as others are in knowing how to raise teens in a Biblical way. We want to be a place where parents can seek help in how to do this. We are here to provide resources, counseling, ideas, and support. We want to always keep you informed on what is going on the in the student ministry and ways that you can connect with your teens.
    If you ever need anything (from advice, event times, cost of something, what to bring, counseling, or anything else you can think of) please to not hesitate to call, email, or stop by the church.
