Cedar Heights Student Ministry exists to develop students that have an unabashed, unceasing, all-encompassing pursuit of Christ. Our ministry facilitates this development through Biblical teaching, dynamic worship, and meaningful service opportunities.

 

Our first desire is for students to fall in love with Jesus. In order to fuel growth in our students’ relationship with Jesus, we spend time studying the Word of God in our ministry groups and our Wednesday night worship services. We also encourage students to connect with God through worship and prayer both corporately and individually. Outside of our normal weekly activities, we attend worship rallies, weekend retreats, summer camps, and mission trips to challenge our students to grow as they connect with other Christians and step out of their comfort zone.

 

Our second desire is for students to fall in love with His bride—the church. We want to see students demonstrate an active love for the church so students will not abandon it when they graduate high school. One way to encourage this love is to create opportunities for students to serve their church through the kids, worship, and media ministry. In addition, this practice of humble service will perhaps change the consumer mentality of church back to one of giving rather than receiving.

 

Our third desire is for students to love the nations. Christ’s call was to take the Gospel to the nations. We want our students to be so in love with Jesus and His church that they are willing to give anything and everything to share that love with the nations. God transforms each of us into the image of His Son so we can be a blessing to the whole world by bringing His truth to them. We make it a point to serve the people of our community, our state, and our nation through local, national, and international mission trips.
