Loving God and Loving People above all else.Our student ministry team is made up of a diverse group of students and adults who have one thing in common. They are passionate about today’s student experiencing a real relationship with Jesus Christ and one another. Our student ministry balances worship, solid bible teaching, and fellowship. In addition, to our Sunday morning bible study and Wednesday evening group there are outreaches, mission trips, concerts, fellowship times, camps, and conferences. It is not about keeping our “kids out of trouble by being busy”, it’s about giving our students meaningful teaching and relationships that will help them make the right choices. Jr. High: Grades 6th – 8th love to be real.As students enter Jr. High they are faced with lots of input from the world around them. We partner with parents to provide a safe place where they can ask questions and get biblical responses to everyday life. Sr. High: Grades 9th – 12th are really on the move.High School students are preparing for their future. They are conflicted between the safety of home and the challenge of being independent. Transition is our focus. Gateway challenges our high school students to know who they are in Christ, why they are here, and God’s plan for their lives. In four short years they will be making adult decisions and living with adult consequences. Our goal is to send them off to their college or career firmly grounded in their faith in Jesus Christ enabling them to make decisions that will honor God. |
