Can my child come if our family is not “Christian?”

Yes, we welcome all students regardless of their religious affinity, race, social status, gender, and orientation. All are welcome and will be treated with dignity.

Daniel Van Camp

Pastor of Student Ministries

“Working with middle and high school students is a privilege (and it’s fun). Advocating and fighting for teens feels like a calling God has put on my life. Fighting for their dignity, their wellbeing, and their future excites me. I want students to know God, to know his lavish grace, ridiculous forgiveness, his truth, and experience the fullness of life Jesus Christ offers. God has transformed my life, made me new, given me a hope—
 I want that for our kids.”
