We do this by shepherding students in our care to Enter Community, Explore Faith, Embrace Truth, Embody Love and Engage Culture. 

Our passion is guiding young people to life with Jesus…a life that will lead to meaning, identity, and purpose. The best way we have found to do this is life on life, face to face, person to person. So, we focus on developing relationships, with Jesus and with others.

The Refuge

The Refuge is the student complex of portable trailers (“The Zone and The Edge”) located next to the main campus building.

Beyond a meeting place on Sunday mornings for students, on select days throughout the month “The Refuge” is open for all teens to just come and hang out. It has a game room, movie room, coffee house, chat room, basketball, volleyball, and wireless internet connection.

Encounter

Because of our love for Jesus, we are dedicated to engaging the culture with His message of hope, freedom, redemption, grace and forgiveness. This is called the gospel or the good news! This is our focus in our Sunday gathering called “Encounter.”

Middle school students meet in “The Zone”

High school students meet in “The Edge.” 

Tribes

Students gather on a regular basis in what we call “Tribes.” Tribes are small groups of people that get together regularly to take on the issues of life and faith, learning how to depend on Jesus and each other. Frankly, life is challenging at times, and to live faithfully for Jesus each day, we really do need each other’s help. So, the purpose of Tribes is to help each other journey faithfully through life.

The Flood

On one Sunday evening a month, all students gather for “The Flood” in the main auditorium. The Flood is a multi-media event geared to helping students see their world through God’s eyes. Students are involved in all aspects of The Flood including organizing, set-up, prayer, teaching and music. 

Thanks for checking us out!

We hope this gives you an idea about our student ministries. We invite you to come and share life with us…to explore with us…to struggle with us…and to love with us!  We certainly don’t have everything figured out, but together, we can journey to the Heart Of Life.
