FAITH STUDENTS
Because we are radically in love with Christ: we come alongside OTHERS and walk faithfully with them as they learn to do the same for SOMEONE ELSE.
WNL - Wednesday Night Live
Alongsider - an adult who comes alongside students to help them learn about Jesus, answer questions, just hang out and do life.
SMC - Sunday Morning Class will not be offered this year
We exist to create FAMILY, build the KINGDOM and give students a MISSION to serve God and others.

WNL - WEDNESDAY NIGHT LIVE

SUNDAY MORNING UPDATE
Beginning this fall, our middle and high school students will remain in the worship service on
Sunday mornings rather than leaving partway through the service for Student Ministry Class
(SMC).
The primary reason for this decision is discipleship and belonging. We want our students to
increasingly understand that they are part of a youth ministry AND they are also participants in
the whole church—they belong to our church family!If you have questions or comments, feel free to reach out to Pastor Scott or to an elder if that is easier for you.

SCOTT OWENS - PASTOR OF STUDENT MINISTRIES AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
OFFICE HOURS: MONDAY-THURSDAY - 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM
Scott came to Faith Church in November of 2016. He got called into ministry from a desire to have authentic, intentional conversations with students and parents about Christ. He wants nothing more than to see people that don't know Jesus come to know Him and for those that know Him to be IN AWE of Him everyday.
Scott and his wife, Carrie, have eight kids (Isabelle, Elijah, Mathias, Clara, Samuel, Josiah, Asher and Tessa) and most of their energy goes into putting their faith into action at home and modeling that to everyone that God brings into their path. He believes in being faith-rooted at home, authentic in community and resourced passionately from the church.He loves soccer, Stonehouse Coffee, the book of John, MNUFC, biographies, Moleskine notebooks, the book of Romans, Piggy Blues, acronyms, the book of Ecclesiastes, mexican food and students that don't play practical jokes on his car (affectionately known as the "jellybean").
