Student Ministry

Faith That’s Real. Community That Lasts.

Our Student Ministry exists to help middle school and high school discover what it means to follow Jesus in today’s world. We know these years are full of questions, challenges, and big decisions—and we’re here to walk alongside students with encouragement, truth, and authentic community.

Why Students Thrive Here

• Relevant Teaching – Messages that connect God’s Word to real-life issues like identity, friendships, and purpose.

• Safe Space to Belong – A welcoming environment where students can be themselves, ask hard questions, and grow in faith.

• Mentorship & Leadership – Caring adults and peer leaders who invest in students, modeling Christ-centered living.

• Fun & Fellowship – Events, retreats, and service projects that build lasting friendships and joyful memories.

How We Equip Students

• Weekly Gatherings – Engaging worship, Bible study, and small groups designed for teens and young adults.

• Discipleship Opportunities – One-on-one mentoring, leadership training, and mission trips that deepen faith.

• Life Skills & Support – Practical guidance on navigating school, relationships, and future planning with a biblical foundation.

• Community Impact – Outreach projects that empower students to serve and make a difference in Springfield and beyond.

• Foundation of Faith – Youth is the best time to establish a relationship with God, before life’s challenges weigh heavily.

• Perspective – It encourages us to see our years as a gift, not to be wasted, but invested in eternal things.

• Legacy – By remembering the Creator in youth, we set a course for a lifetime of joy, wisdom, and strength in Him.
