Our vision is that youth turn out to be spiritually mature Christians actively involved in their church and community showing the love of Christ and sharing with others.

Our mission is to (C.L.I.M.B.) boost youth to a level of spiritual maturity that is pleasing to the Lord.

As a result of working together with parents; to achieve its goals the Student Ministry Department will:

· Lead youth to the true spiritual worship that the Father is seeking

- It is our duty to user students into an atmosphere of true spiritual worship where they can celebrate God’s presence and honor Him with their lifestyle.
