The Crest Student Ministry - High School

A Letter To High School Families
It is a great privilege and challenge to work with this generation of high school students.  They are very much a product of their culture and community.  Their minds and attentions are bombarded with and subjected to information and media overload.  They are looking for answers to endless questions, but are misled by a world whose resolutions lead to emtpy results.

We believe that as the Church we are to assist and grow the family in its God-given responsibility to meet this challenge as found in Deuteronomy 6:1-9 and Ephesians 6:1-4.  We intend to supplement that work by teaching the Word of God and leading with integrity, thereby enabling each student to discover their identity and purpose in Christ.

Our High School Ministry desires and attempts to create an environment where we believe each student can come and belong, be awakened to the love and grace of Jesus Christ, and find opportunities to live out that love and grace in this world.  Will you join us?

Because of His great love,
Wes Tankersley
High School Minister
