Encounter Student Ministries (ESM)

If you are from 7th - 12th grade or have children who are, this is the place to be.

ESM meets every Sunday night from 6-8 pm. We are all about Jesus and in the process of pursuing Him we have a whole lot of fun. 

Besides our Sunday youth service, there are other opportunities to connect....

Youth events, Youth Camp, Youth Convention, Mission Trips, and More

 

ESM Vision Statement:

To become Christ centered youth, who completely find our identity in Christ, devoting ourselves to loving one another, honoring our Lord, and reaching the lost, all while making a positive impact for Christ in our schools! 


ESM Mission Statement:

Love God, love people, make disciples that make disciples, and reach the lost in our lives and people from all cultures with Christ's love.


ESM strive to develop relationships with those not connected with Christ all while forming a life long connection with our Lord Jesus Christ.

  • The concept is simple: we give so others can speed the light of the gospel to a world in darkness. This is accomplished by providing the "essential transportation and creative communication" equipment for missionary evangelism. Through modern transportation, radio, television, print, audio, and digital equipment, our missionaries can help make Jesus known.


    Speed the Light is the student-initiated, volunteer, charitable program that provides much-needed equipment to missionaries across the nation and in over 180 countries around the world.
