PURPOSE: Our Student ministry exists to reach students who are far from God and help them become fully devoted followers of Christ. We want to learn how to celebrate together and connect with each other and teach students how they can contribute.
Purpose: To obey the commands of Jesus to Go make disciples that none would perish
Direction:
- Creating an atmosphere for Students to have an encounter with Jesus.
- Make sure that the teachings are relevant to where students are in their lives.
- Allow time for the Holy Spirit to speak, convict, heal, and minister to the students.
Our Focus:
- Teaching students about their true Identity in Christ.
- Teaching students they are uniquely made in the image of God.
- Teaching students to be Contributors in the body of Christ.
We will do this as a TEAM.
Our main job description is to equip the students to live out their faith authentically and do the ministry's work. Eph. 4:12
