The main goal of our student ministry program is to supplement what parents are doing at home. Our hope is that this ministry provides an opportunity to work through the whole counsel of God as it is presented in His Holy Word. We seek to encourage students to life-long discipleship and provide numerous opportunities to hear the Word taught, to serve in the local body, and to fellowship with other believers.

We encourage all students to attend a worship service with their family. In addition to that, students are invited to meet in the Cove at 10:45 for class. This time is used to teach and equip both our High School and Middle School students in biblical literacy and discipleship.
We also encourage our high school students to be actively involved in the life of the church, serving in the nursery or leading children's small groups on Sundays. Contact our children's department to find out more about these opportunities.
Middle School and High School Ministries meet most Sundays from 6-8 p.m. for teaching and fellowship. Students engage in worship led by a student worship band, and have a large group lesson taught for each age group separately by the pastor of students, a student ministry intern, or another skilled teacher from the LifePoint Church body. Students then go into small group discussion aimed at providing biblical accountability and discussion of real-life application.
Throughout the year other opportunities are offered to serve in the community, go on both national and international mission trips, retreats, and participate in events to enjoy one another's company and fellowship.

What is the key to happiness? At some point we’ve all wished we were more popular or that we had more money, or maybe that we lived somewhere more interesting. If we are honest, we’ve all thought these things could be the key to happiness for us. As sinful human beings, we have a tendency to assume that our biggest problems in life are outside ourselves and our lives would be better under different circumstances.
Scripture, however, paints a different picture of our biggest problem. According to the Bible, the problem behind all of our problems is internal. Our problem is that we are lured away by the sinful desires in our hearts. If we desire to grow in our walk with Christ, we need to realize that our greatest need is not for new circumstances, but for our hearts to be transformed.
As we begin our study of James this Fall, we will see:
