Ministry Summary :

We don’t want a student ministry silo, as if our students were not valued

and prioritized, or your role as the Student Ministry Pastor were not vital and integral to the

whole thrust of our ministries. Instead, we are approaching all the ministries of the church

comprehensively, so that we are unified, moving in the same direction. Unlike many ministry

models where the youth / student ministry is left on its own, you will be an integral team player,

helping us implement the vision of being a church led from here to there by the Holy Spirit.
