Student Ministry Philosophy

Hello Parents!

While this information was presented in greater detail at the parent meeting, we thought we would put it up here as well so that those of you who couldn't make the meeting would know how the Student Ministry will run things... for the most part...

Purpose Statement: "Point Of Grace Student Ministries exists to create environments that help students ENTER new life in Christ, MERGE lives with other Christ followers, CONSTRUCT healthy spiritual habits, and give them ACCESS to ministry, while they ELEVATE God."

ENTER - Door:: [Evangelism]
Through creating fun, creative, relevant and authentic environments, where students are comfortable bringing their friends, we strive to capture the attention of students and get an open door for sharing the Gospel.


Student Relationship: GUEST
Key Program: REACH NIGHTS

MERGE - Freeways:: [Fellowship]
Relationships are the goal and the means of our ministry. Everything we do is designed connect students to other students. We are better together and growth happens best in the context of friendships.



Student Relationship: FRIEND
Key Program: LIFE GROUPS

CONSTRUCT - BUILDING:: [Discipleship]
We want to build into students and help them develop spiritual habits that provide the foundation for impacting the world. Teaching students how to live out their faith and think critically about what they believe helps them become the person God has in mind.


Student Relationship: APPRENTICE
Key Program: H.A.B.I.T.S.

ACCESS - KEYS:: [Ministry]
We want students to know that they each have a unique blueprint and key (spiritual gifts/talents) that God desires them to use to serve others in the church and outside of it. We don’t want them to just attend church; we want them to be the church.


Student Relationship: SERVANT
Key Program: DISCOVERY CLASS

ELEVATE - ELAVATOR:: [Worship]
We want the entire process of our student’s lives to be a journey of experiencing and falling deeper in love with Jesus. We want to develop students who strive for His renown, rather than their own personal fame.


Student Relationship: LEADER
Key Program: WEEKEND WORSHIP SERVICE
