JOURNEY STUDENTS

(7TH–12TH GRADES)

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to reach the hearts of students who don't yet know Jesus. We do this by equipping leaders, fostering a community built on honor and positivity, fun, and encouraging a spirit of service. We believe in partnering with parents to ensure students can experience and extend these values, transforming their lives and the lives of others.

OUR VISION

Where We're Going:  Our goal, as a ministry, is to grow students spiritually, and that starts with connecting them to Jesus first (Evangelism)! From there we impress the importance of growing together to create a community that builds up one another (unity). We become more like Jesus when we can put ourselves last and serve those around us. Jesus came to serve, we are also called to serve (Serve).

How We Get There:  The main avenues we've created to accomplish this are through our small groups, Wednesday experience, big events, serving the community, and telling our stories. each one of these is intentionally designed to drive us toward our goals to Evangelize, grow in unity, and serve.  

 

Our Culture:  Culture is the foundation for all we do! Culture is dictated by our character. We regularly encourage and provide opportunities for students to cultivate the Fruits of the Spirit (Gal 5:22-23) in their lives. These Fruits, in the lives of our students, help dictate the culture of this ministry.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

We want to develop the next generation of leaders. That's why we have a Student Leadership Team. 

What can a student expect as a member of SLT?

 

Students Learn how to lead themselves first.

 

Students will serve on a team on Wednesday nights and, for some, possibly serve on another team in Venture Church.

 

Students learn how to leverage their influence to help others grow closer to Christ.

 

Students will learn basic leadership skills that will help them be successful leaders in ministry or in the workplace (wherever God assigns them as adults).
