Quest Teens (Grades 6-8) (Grades 9-12)

Welcome Teens & Parents to Quest Teens! We use the acronym, iGLOW, to describe our areas of focus. Just as the light was made to shine for the world to see, God wants our lives to shine so the world can see Him through us. We understand the teen years are a defining and transitional period in the life of a student. This pivotal milestone has its fair share of celebration and challenges when guiding your teen into adulthood, yet, we know that God uses these challenges to develop our character and mature us. Our Teen Ministry intentionally partners with parents to help them in their journey with Jesus and life.

Purpose

In a safe and nurturing environment, we provide our Teens resources for Growth, where they will have the opportunity to develop an honorable Christ-centered Lifestyle that creates contagious Outreach in their circles of influence. Whether they’re being introduced to Christ or further developing their relationship with Him, we come alongside them to promote a Willing service to both God and others, preparing them for effective adult life.

Vision

DISCOVER JESUS, DISCOVER YOU! This is more than just a tagline, it's what we hope to see happen in our students as they become orientated and changed by the message of the Gospel. In this stage of Discovery, you can't have a Quest without Questions and our aim is to help our students in asking the right Questions that will lead them to uncover the richness of God's great love and mercy for them in the person of Jesus, who is the greatest answer for every question. In Discovering Jesus, they come to Discover a complete version of themselves created to be in the likeness and image of God's only Son.
