Word of Life Scholarship Overview

One of our core values as a youth ministry is to help students develop their own faith by learning how to prioritize spiritual disciplines. Offering WOL Scholarship is one way that we seek to implement this value. WOL Scholarship provides a measurable way for parents and small group leaders to hold students accountable through tracking these spiritual disciplines throughout the year. The goal is accountability and growth in order to, Lord-willing, establish life-long habits.

Camps, Mission Trips, Events, and More

A vibrant faith comes about through the study of God’s Word, the living out its truths, and connection to Christian community. Our student ministry provides opportunities to grow in each of these areas through missions trips (national & international), summer camps, and various events throughout the year.
