Students

Our Purpose 
The purpose of student ministry at Grace is to make disciples of Christ, who make other disciples.  We prayerfully strive to accomplish this through Biblical community, Bible literacy, understanding, worship, and service.  Student Ministry is supplemental to parent discipleship, and we strive to pray with, support and equip parents in their role as the spiritual leaders of their families.
