We are a ministry for students in 6th – 12th grade.  The heartbeat of our ministry is our students!  We reach and connect with them in a variety of ways that help them learn about God and live life together with other students.  A cornerstone of our ministry is Small Groups.  Also, check out our other activities, trips and Sunday morning gatherings.

2012 Spring & Summer Trips

March 19-21 - Joplin Missions Trip
March 26-28 - Joplin Missions Trip

For junior and senior high students and their parents
We have two trips available for students who may have different school spring break schedules. These trips are open to students and their parents to serve together in Joplin. We will be serving at the local food distribution centers, meeting Joplin victims and hearing their stories, and offering our time and energy to helping with projects in the area. This is a great chance to serve our neighbors in a hurting city.  Deadline to register for one of the Joplin trips is February 8.
