Youth Ministry

ABOUT THE MINISTRY

Sunrise Student Ministry exists to equip middle and high school students for ministry in all areas of life by teaching them to love Jesus and see Scripture as beautiful, coming alongside them as they go through life, encouraging and speak truth to them all the while. We believe that this is best accomplished through discipleship in four spheres: Word, Family, Peers, and Mentors.

To that end, we provide opportunities for students between 6th and 12th grade to be involved in youth group on Sunday nights, mission and outreach throughout the year and in the summer, lead fellow students and oversee various areas of the youth group, and experience intentional discipleship of the Word with their peers by a core group of adult mentors.
