Goal #1: Reach students for God!
Our goal is for every student to have a personal relationship with
Jesus Christ. We provide weekly events (H20 and The Rock on Saturday
and Sunday nights), and large fun events (camps, muckfest, bowling
etc.) for the purpose of exposing students to the church and Jesus
Christ.
Goal #2: Connect with other students!
Our goal is for every student to have relationships that
help them grow in their faith. We offer small groups throughout
the week (Connect Wednesdays and Next Step on Sunday) where
students share their individual concerns and learn how
to grow in their relationship with God.
Goal #3: Offer ourself to God!
Our goal is that every student would put God first in his/her
life. We offer ourselves to God through music (in large
and small groups), through our actions (i.e. going to
church, small groups, acting like a believer when no one
is looking, serving, etc.) and giving of our tithes and offerings.
Goal #4: Train Students to Know God!
Our goal is that every student will grow individually in
their walk with God in order to be better equipped to serve
Him. We provide Study Groups (Bible Studies, Spiritual
Gifts, Baptism, Leader Group, Team Groups, Defending Your
Faith, etc.) available throughout the week.
Goal #5: Extend the Kingdom of God!
Our goal is for every student to see the power of God work
in his/her life through prayer, caring for one another,
and healing. Classes are offered to help students learn
to pray and practice spiritual disciplines. We also offer
classes that help students with addictive behaviors.
