Who we are
First Students aims to establish a culturally relevant environment where middle and high school students can encounter the gospel and respond to it.
Students develop deep relationships with the ministry team as they create deep relationships with each other and ultimately with Jesus.
The aim is for each to love, worship, and enjoy God. By fostering groups and being a part of church life, students go through discipleship by connecting them to Christ-centered relationships, encouraging them to grow in the way of Christ, and equipping them to serve as Christ served.
