Parents, We're Here For You A Note From Our Pastor

As a Student Ministry, we highly value our partnership with you—parents! Our team has been brainstorming ways that we can partner together in the great endeavor of discipling students. We're interested in: 1) hosting a monthly Parent Prayer Night (see below) and 2) starting a quarterly Parent Lab (addressing relevant issues and providing educational helps and resources for parents raising students).

Here's some ways we can partner together:
  • Parent Prayer Night: Join us for a monthly Parent Prayer Night to pray for our students, ministry, local schools, and church families. Details below!
  • Quarterly Parent Labs: Consider attending a future parent lab, which addresses relevant issues like technology and social media, dating and relationships, and family discipleship.
  • Parent Survey: Last December, some of you took our Parent Survey offering us feedback on what's working—and what's not. Do you have further questions or comments? Please don't hesitate to contact us!
  • Parent + Pastor Coffee: Both Pastor Jake and I would love to get to know you! We would love to grab coffee with you—talk about your student, your family, your faith, and how we can help! E-mail Pastor Austin or Pastor Jake for an appointment!
Remember, we're a faith family. God has strategically placed us together in this season—to raise a generation of students that love God, love people, stand out, pursue godliness, steward their youthfulness, live with joy, and glorify God in everything they think, say, and do!

Yours in Christ,

Austin Axen 
Student Ministries Pastor
