Welcome Tara and Nathan Tuttle!

"We believe the most effective student ministries begin with relationships. After all, Jesus Christ himself gave us the perfect model of ministry to students. He not only taught His disciples the truth, but He was invested in their lives, cared for them like family and loved them through their sinfulness. Through the ministry and life of Jesus, we desire to emulate His blueprint for ministry by equipping students, encouraging families, enabling leaders and empowering the church."

"We believe in one God-Father, Son and Holy Spirit-to which Holy Scripture, the infallible Word of God, bears witness. Due to our sinful nature, our knowledge of God is limited and imperfect. Yet, through grace, we are called to grow in the knowledge and love of God and to serve Him by seeking to lead young people into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. Through equipping students, encouraging families, enabling leaders and empowering the Church, we can glorify God and further His kingdom."
