NextGen Ministry
NextGen Ministry encompasses all young people (from cradle to college) and their families. We offer safe environments for young people (from Birth to 18 years old) to discover their faith within a community of peers. In this, we are committed to fostering your child's faith through tailored programs while supporting you as their family in leading them in their faith journey.
We're all about Discipleship
We want to help you and your kids grow in their faith over time! That means with every Sunday Morning Lesson, Special Event, Social Media Post, and more, we are intentional in helping you and your kids take the next step in your faith journey! We focus on four key areas of discipleship:
-
Spending Time with God - If we want to grow spiritually, we need to spend time growing in our relationship with God through personal times of prayer, reading Scripture, reflection, and worship.
-
Spending Time with Others - If we want to grow spiritually, we need to be engaged in healthy community and godly relationships with others — with people who share our beliefs, as well as with people who don’t.
-
Sharing Your Story - If we want to grow spiritually, we need to understand how God uniquely made us and then use those unique qualities to love God, love others, and impact the world around us.
-
Using Your Gifts - If we want to grow spiritually, we need to understand how God uniquely made us and then use those unique qualities to love God, love others, and impact the world around us.
