850 Student Ministry is dedicated to discipling high school students, helping them live out their faith and lead with purpose. We aim to equip students with the tools they need to serve like Jesus, following the example He modeled and the instructions He gave His disciples. Our students will put their faith and training into practice through large group gatherings, events, and their everyday lives.
Our vision is to see a generation of high school students living boldly for Christ, impacting their schools, workplaces, and communities. We aim to raise up student leaders who will serve within their churches, schools, and circles of influence. Our ministry is focused on doing ministry as Jesus modeled and instructed His disciples. By equipping students with the tools they need to serve like Jesus, we will empower them to make disciples and shine as lights in a dark world.
Dependence on the Holy Spirit
We believe that true transformation and effective ministry come through the power of the Holy Spirit. We seek to be led by the Spirit in all aspects of our lives and ministry.
Scripture: Zechariah 4:6; Romans 8:14
Ministry with Jesus as Our Example
We follow the example of Jesus in ministry, who came to serve, not to be served. As He instructed His disciples, we are called to serve others and equip them to lead with humility. Our student leaders will serve as the foundation of this ministry, learning to live out their faith and training through both leadership roles and their everyday lives.
