Fulfilling God's mission for the church involves Biblically based teaching, training and activities that help every person understand their unique role in evangelism, discipleship, fellowship and ministry to others within the church, the community and the world. "Student Impact" is a Bible study class that provides a place to belong and a place to become.

Belonging involves connecting with other believers to find common interests, common backgrounds and common struggles.

Becoming is the process of learning how God wants to teach you, guide you, and use you for His glory.
