We are a Christ-centered youth ministry, welcoming all students into our grace-filled community. We, the youth ministry, are a bridge for students to discover their role in what God is doing in the local church, the community, and the world. Students who are available, hungry for God’s truth and desire to make a difference will thrive in this ministry. We cannot stress enough the benefit and power of joining a WHSM small group which is key to accomplish our purpose. As students graduate from high school, they will own what it means to be a follower of Christ and to serve His church. They will be dreamers of what Christ can do through them. They will be equipped for loving service to those around them in their world. They will become partakers in the abundant life of Jesus and be discovering their role in God’s Story.
