About Me

Elevate Student Ministries exist to create an opportunity for students to worship (the one true God), connect (with other believers), grow (into disciples of Christ), serve (the body of Christ) and reach (others for Jesus).

We believe God has a purpose for each of us and we want to see those purposes fulfilled. (Proverbs 16:4)

At Elevate Student Ministries we like to have a good time, and trust us, we know how to. However, in the end, we are a ministry dedicated to the youth of our community in sharing with them the love God has shown through His Son Jesus Christ and preparing them to be the leaders of their generation.

Prayer: You Are Not Alone

Everyone faces problems, big and small, but you are not alone. We welcome you to email us your prayer needs and we will post them here so that others can join with you and hold you up in prayer. Jesus Christ promises us that wherever two or more are gathered in His name, He is there and that through Him all things are possible. Let us stand with you.
