Singing is the natural outflow of a heart that wants to worship God. We sing in order to praise God, instruct our hearts with truth from God’s Word, and encourage one another in the faith. (Col. 3:16)

When Scripture speaks, God speaks. We teach lessons grounded in the Scriptures because this is the primary way we get to learn about God and from Him. (2 Tim. 3:16-17)

Prayer is as essential for a Christian’s spiritual life as breathing is for one’s physical life. We spend intentional time in prayer to express our dependence on God as we adore Him, confess our sins, thank Him for our salvation in Christ, and submit our hearts to follow His will. (1 Thess. 5:16-18)

The gospel is the good news of salvation in Jesus. The gospel is not merely something we accept once and move on from but is something which we forever get to dive deeper into. We strive to keep the gospel front and center in all that we do. (Heb. 10:23)

The local church is God’s ordained institution for discipleship. Therefore, our youth group is structured to support, but never replace, the local church. We encourage students to be meaningfully involved in the local church as Christians who are saved into Christ’s Body. (Heb. 10:24-25)

Jesus gave all Christians, regardless of age, a Great Commission to reach the world with the gospel message. Therefore, we encourage students to adopt a “missions mindset” and take part in this calling by sharing the gospel in both word (evangelism in their spheres of influence) and deed (acts of service). (Matt. 28:18-20)

Parents are the primary disciplers of their children’s spiritual formation. Therefore, RS exists to support (not subvert) a parent’s role in discipling their kids toward greater maturity in Christ. (Deut. 6:5-9)

We believe that the Bible is best applied life on life. Our small groups exist to help students grow in their relationships with one another while honestly applying God’s Word to their lives. Our weekly games and fun seasonal events are also great opportunities for students to build relationships with one another while having fun. Youth groups that have fun together grow together. (2 Tim. 2:1-2)

The gospel message is for anyone regardless of race, ethnicity, social status, or gender. Therefore, we joyfully invite anyone to come and participate in our worship services on Wednesday nights. (Rom. 15:7)
