Student Ministries
Student-led ministries provide opportunities for developing students as leaders. The focus of our student ministries ranges from service opportunities to prayer to justice. Student leaders are mentored in their spiritual formation and leadership through training in August and January, and by meetings during the academic year. Special community-wide events include Hunger and Homelessness Awareness (HAHA) Week , sponsored by our YACHT Club and Thanksgiving Chapel.
