About Us
Foundation Student Ministry is all about nurturing one’s spiritual growth as they navigate their adolescent years. Being a teenager can be challenging, and is often filled with lots of questions and emotions. Our goal is to create a healthy space for students to ask those questions and
navigate their feelings, while also maintaining a foundation of biblical truth. Our youth love to worship, we take learning seriously, and we play hard!
