Youth

Student Recources

Students are the church!

If we really believe that then we have to believe that teenagers are capable of being mature followers of Christ who are continually growing in Christ and ministering to those around them.

Here are some tools to help you on your journey

I highly encourage you to develop your own personal study habits but everybody needs to start somewhere!

  • Apologetics

    Peter tells us to always be "prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you" (1 Peter 3:15). Apologetics is one of the ways we can do that. NOTHING replaces the power of God's Word in your heart but solid apologetics can be a powerful tool when we face other religions, those who doubt the claims of Christ, or those who reject the Bible's account of creation.
