To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by doing so you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
We think of our Sr High students (grades 9–12) less as “adolescents” and more as “apprentices.” We prepare them for Christian adulthood through Sunday School classes, Wednesday night gatherings, and other special activities and events. Through each facet of our ministry, we point students to Jesus and an ever-increasing delight and maturity in him. Read through the pillars that guide our ministry vision and fuel our prayers.
