At High School Ministries, We Understand…

Teens are People

Teenagers are all individual people. They are dealing with a lot of STUFF in today’s world and they desire to learn and make this world better.

We also understand that all teens are not in the “same place” in their relationship with God. High School Ministries (HSM) is not a program, but a place to build relationships with peers, mentors, and with God.

“HSM has created lifelong friendships”
— Hannah

Teens Need to Belong

Teenagers want a place where they can be SEEN, KNOWN and LOVED. They desire to have a trusted group of friends and adults that accept them for who they are, even in the messiness.

HSM creates this environment through Small Groups.

Authenticity Is Everything

Teenagers are truth seekers. They desire authentic relationships, authentic witness, and authentic answers to the “Big Questions” about life and God. At HSM, we will not be fake. From the friendships formed and deepened, the adults leading the small groups, and doing our best to discover an answer about the faith together, we will be authentic.

Families are Busy

Schedules today are insane! Parents are pulled in so many directions and honestly, you don’t need one more "Must Do" thrown at you. We totally get that, especially when your teen may not actually want to go or is having their basic needs met.

HSM Small Groups are flexible to meet when and where it is the most convenient for your teen's small group of friends twice a month.
