::Our Key Values::
Discipleship
Discipleship is following Jesus, every day in every action. It is a
passionate love for God that brings overflowing joy and amazing self-discipline
to your life.
Fellowship
Fellowship is God's love for God's people, living through you. The
early Christians had it so strong that people joined their ranks in droves.
The same thing can happen today.
Mission
God has a heart for the lost and for those who suffer for injustice.
Mission happens when your heart beats with God's heart for the world. Life
with God is never boring!

Friends of World Mission
This is an amazing first step
at supporting mission work. The Covenant church (our larger church family)
picks 6 projects a year. They mail you the info, you send in support -
whether that is $2, $20 or anything else. This is a great way to be
involved in God's heart for the world! Click
here to check it out!

Growing
up is hard. Parenting is hard, too. In Student
Ministries we are committed to making this a time of
understanding between you and your adolescent kids.
What does it take to make the parent/church partnership
successful in the life of a student?
A Pledge:
It starts with a Pledge from
a parent - will you commit to raising your son or daughter to love Jesus Christ
as Savior and Lord? This is no easy challenge, no simple Pledge. It
is more important, though, than grades, sports, jobs or anything else. In
the Bible, the responsibility for raising godly children is the job of the
parents (Deut 6). Yet adolescence is a time when your children are pulling
away from you. This can make the Pledge difficult! This doesn't mean
you should stop teaching, training, disciplining and instructing. It means
you need backup, encouragement, and support. That is where Student
Ministries come in.
A Promise:
We make a Promise to you.
We will support you as a parent. We Promise to keep you informed,
encouraged, and supported. We Promise to build your relationship and
communication with your son or daughter. We Promise to be an advocate for
your son or daughter. At a time when they are pulling away, we want them
to find the mentoring relationships of godly men and women, leaders in our
church and ministry who will take the time to love, listen, and challenge
students. Together, we can make a difference for life, helping you raise a
child who loves God, loves others, and does great things for the Kingdom.
