Student Ministry
Vision: We share the vision of Vintage, which is “Community transformation through the love and power of Jesus.” What this means for us is that we desire to embrace students where they are, empower them to live lives that honor Jesus, and help people know His love. We are so glad you are here!

Student Ministry Staff and Volunteers
We believe our vision for Student Ministry happens in the context of three sets of relationships: Upward, Inward, and Outward.
Upward: We want to love Jesus and know His love for us. We believe that this is what we were made for. As this happens, as we orient our lives around God’s love for us and love Him in return, our lives change. Therefore, we want to provide our students with every opportunity we can to know Jesus’ love and empower them to love Jesus in return.
Inward: Relationships are really important to us. There is an African proverb that says, “If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.” We believe life is better together. More than that, we believe that Jesus calls us to live life together. We believe that Jesus called us to be like a family. A family is a place where you feel welcomed, loved, known, included, and free to be yourself. That’s what we want to be for each other.
Outward: Blessing. It’s kind of a worn out word, but we love it! We believe that Jesus has called us to be a blessing. For us, blessing means the tangible touch of God that actually changes things. We believe that God has called, empowered, and sent us to be a blessing to people in our lives. For us, that means living like Jesus in our normal lives. We want to live loving, bold, compassionate, intentional, authentic, kind, generous lives that help people love and know Jesus and actually make their lives better.
