STUDENT MINISTRY OVERVIEW:
PHILOSOPHY AND VALUES
Purpose: We exist to reach students with the gospel and lead them to become mature worshippers of God.
Student Ministry Values
• The family is the God-given agent for the discipleship of children (Deut. 6:4-9; Eph. 6:1-4).
The primary minister in a student’s life is his/her parents. While it is true that student ministry is important, it’s role is not to assume the responsibility given by God to the family. Therefore, we hope to partner with parents to support them in accomplishing their God given task. We seek to support, encourage, and train parents to fulfill this vital task.
• The Word of God is the foundation of ministry (2 Tim. 4:1-2; James 1:22-23; Psalm 119; 2 Tim. 3:16-17; John 17:17; 1 Thess. 2:13; Heb. 4:12).
It is our belief that the Word of God transforms lives. Without the centrality of God’s Word, any ministry loses its focus and, as a result, opportunities for lasting spiritual impact are diminished. Therefore, from start to finish, the Scriptures permeate all that we do.
• Leading students to a saving relationship with Jesus Christ is the only worthy goal (Eph. 2:1-10; Phil.3:7-11).
Games, events, craziness of all kinds is great, but only when they work to accomplish the ultimate goal – saving faith in Jesus Christ. For this reason, all that we do will be designed with this end in mind. Our goal is not to entertain students or to have the coolest ministry in town, but to remain true to the gospel, trusting that God can, and will change student’s lives. We will send our students on mission to take the message of the gospel to their schools, sports teams, families, and around the world.
• All people matter to God (Luke 15; Luke 19:10; Rom. 5:8; 1 Tim. 1:15-17; 2 Pet. 3:9).
In case you haven’t noticed, students come in all types of different packages: whether it is style of dress, type of lifestyle, or personal background. All people matter to God. Therefore it is our desire to make a maximum impact on them all and allow them to come face to face with the message of the gospel.

Kingdom Seekers Student Ministry Schedule
Sunday school: Sunday Mornings @ 9:30am to 10:30am
The primary purpose of Sunday school is studying systematically through the Word of God.We believe that the Bible is God’s tool for working true lasting change in the lives of believers. The Scriptures teach us about God’s great salvation but also about how we should worship him with our lives. We also hope that our teaching will be an example to students on how they should study the Bible.
Wednesday Evenings @ 6:30pm to 8pm
This night will be to study “Life issues” that affect our students.Some topics that will be covered will include temptation, friendships, sex/ dating, wise choices, self-image, knowing God’s will, etc. We will endeavor to split into small groups based upon age and gender when appropriate. This will be done to create an atmosphere that encourages accountability and honest friendships. We will also have a period of time devoted to prayer and seeking God.
Sunday Evenings, 5pm - 7:00pm
This service will have many different aspects: games, icebreakers, skits, praise and worship music, as well as instruction from God’s Word related to “Core issues in the Body of Christ. ” Topics covered will include: How We Know the Bible is True, Core Doctrines of Christianity, Worship, Spiritual gifts, Call to Service, Caring for others, etc. This service provides a great opportunity for our students to invite their friends and non-believers.
