Student Ministry

We want your student to be part of a community that prioritizes “being the Church” as opposed to just “showing up to Church.”

During their teen years, your student will likely begin exploring their faith in deeper ways. Here at Student Ministry, we hope to use this natural time of exploration to help solidify their walk with Christ so they're ready for whatever the world has for them after graduation!

Your teenager can enjoy weekly Sunday morning and Wednesday youth group gatherings where they'll find genuine community, biblical teaching that speaks to their world, fun games, and meaningful service opportunities. We also offer plenty of other ways for your student to get plugged in throughout the year, including special events, camps, mission trips, bible studies, mentorship opportunities, student leadership teams, and more.

Your student can look forward to special events during the year like Summer Sizzle, volunteering at our children's Camp Catapult, Senior High Christmas in KC, and the Senior High Mission Trip.
