The heart of a student must be guarded and fought for in these and other areas: 

1. Spiritual - Having a deep intimate relationship with Jesus and others.
2. Physical - Hanging out with each other and connecting with each other in order to help fight temptation.  This happens as we grow deeper on a personal level with each other and God.
3. Mental - Equipping students that will not try to conform to today's society but live the Christ-like life God has for them.
4. Emotional - Helping them connect with a leader or trusted friend for accountability.  Providing encouragment and a safe place for spiritual growth.

Mission Statement

1. This wonderfully adventurous group enjoys day trips, concerts, picnics, potluck dinners, fishing, fellowship, and much more.
2. Our express ministry not only plays together but prays together while supporting each other in a times of need. 

• To bring people to Jesus Christ, and to bring Christians to a closer, more intimate relationship with Him.

• Minister to the relational needs of the local church congregation.
• To serve as a vehicle for interaction among the people of this congregation.  

• To encourage commitment to ministry in God’s kingdom. A light should not be kept under a bushel, but used to the continued service and glory of the Lord.  
• To maintain the identity of people with regard to their continued value as vital parts of the body of Christ; to recognize their value in terms of wisdom, experience, knowledge, talents, and other God given abilities and gifts.   

1. You will begin to really feel like part of God's family.  Most people who have been a part of a group say the greatest benefit is the close relationships and friendships that develop. They will frequently telephone each other during the week to share an urgent prayer request or an exciting answer. You'll discover that your needs and problems are not unique ~ we're all in the same boat. It helps to know that others are facing the same difficulties, or have lived through them and learned spiritual principles in the process.
2. Prayer will become more meaningful to you. Many people are hesitant to pray in front of others, especially in a large church. In a small group of 6 to 12, you will learn to participate in prayer by having a conversation together with God. No one is pressured to pray, but as you become comfortable, you'll be able to pray sentence prayers and join in. There are many promises in the Bible related to group prayer. In praying together with a few others, we are drawn together and we find answers to the needs in our lives.
3. You will be able to handle stress and pressure better.  Small groups provide excellent support in times of crisis, change, and stress. You'll have a sense of stability and security knowing there are people who really care for you and are committed to standing with you.   
4. You will have a natural way to share Christ with friends, relatives, and work associates.  It may be that some of your friends who don´t I know the Lord wouldn't be caught dead in a church. They have a preconceived idea and just the thought makes them defensive. But those same people may be open to an invitation to a casual Bible discussion in a home or office setting. In a small group, your unbelieving friend can ask questions and express honest doubts without feeling "put on the spot". When your friend sees the love and warmth and honesty of your group, it will make him more receptive to the Good News. 
5. You will develop leadership skills you never knew you had!The Bible teaches that every believer is given certain talents or "gifts" to benefit others in the family of God.  Unfortunately most Christians remain as Sunday morning spectators all their lives because large group meetings are primarily "sit and listen" situations. As you share and participate in a relaxed small group setting, you'll discover your confidence and self-esteem rising. This will help you at work, at church, and in every other relationship. 
6. You will deepen your understanding of worship.  Many believers mistakenly believe that worship can only happen on Sunday morning in a large group with a sermon, a choir, and an offering plate! Worship happens anytime we focus on God. Sometimes that happens best in a smaller group in praying or singing together. 
7. You will be a New Testament Christian!  The book of Acts is very clear about how God intends for His people to grow and have their needs met in the church. We will never be able to hire enough professional pastors to meet all the individual needs in our family. God never intended for it to be that way!
