OUR MISSION STATEMENT

The Student Ministry of IBC exists to worship God: to reach non-Christian students and their families for Christ: to guide students to grow in Christ Jesus: to help students become more confident in their Christianity and to offer themselves in service to Christ and one another.
 

Under the leadership of Pastor Tracy Gregory, students from 6th grade and up meet twice a week to worship, to learn about God This ministry seeks to connect every student to God’s Word, and God’s purpose by help them develop a relationship with Christ. 

The Wednesday the group called CrossCurrent meets along with the JV Youth, where they develop friendships, a passion for Christ through experiencing, studying, and the sharing of God’s Word. This lively group of teens enjoy devotions, snack and fun as they gather together toward spiritual growth. They also gather on Sunday evening at 6:00pm to worship and to connect. The goal of this wonderful ministry is to point them toward Jesus and the Scripture in order to help them answer the biggest question of their life: Who am I? Where do I fit in? What is my purpose.

During the Summer this group participates in Wacky Wednesdays, and experiences many fun outdoor adventures and outreach ministry. This is a perfect time for students to brings friends for a summer of fellowship and fun. 

There are opportunities within this youth group for service.  We strive to provide opportunities to serve both internationally and domestically.

Romans 10:13-15
“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”
