We want to help you find your place in Student Ministry. We will discuss all the options you have as a parent, and the many options your student has in order to grow in their faith. The Student Ministry sees this as a vital time in the life of your student and in the life of our ministry. Please take time to think about the following:

FEAR: For upcoming middle schoolers, the transition from being the “big shot” in a group to being the youngest in the group is scary. We want students to know that their feelings are natural and real. It is scary walking into a room of students who look old.

FUN: Our ministry is fun. We want people to have a good time when they come into our ministry. “Laughter” and “celebration” are two key words we use to describe this value of fun. Most students use the word “boring” when they describe church and because of this, we attempt to shatter the stereotype that church is boring.

FAITH: Our primary goal is to help your child mature in his/her faith. We have a defined strategy with quality programs that assist students in their spiritual growth. Our goal is the same goal God has for all Christians and that is to grow into the likeness of Jesus Christ. We want to emphasize the word “assist” because we know that one's spiritual growth isn't solely dependent our on ministry. We believe that we have some of the best teaching, curriculum, discussion groups, practical tools, and growth opportunities of any ministry around. If a student wants to grow in his/her faith we can help at any level.

FINISH: We want to see students finish their high school years strong in their faith. Our leadership team is affirmed when our graduating seniors have strong convictions about their faith, a lifestyle that reflects their convictions, and plans to serve God through doing ministry. Six years is a long time to stay involved in a student ministry but we know it serves as a foundation to finishing strong.

FRIENDS: “Students become like the people they hang out with.” Even though students hate it when we say it, we've seen that truth played out thousands of times over. Almost everything school revolves around is friends! To finish strong, good friends are vital.

Please feel free to call 205.663.3531 if you have any comments or questions. We look forward to getting to know your family.
