Contribute to MKs’ Spiritual Development
We will provide opportunities to study the Word, engage in prayer, worship together, and serve others.
Provide Leadership Opportunities
We will provide opportunities for students to be discipled and mentored in leadership roles to serve others and share the love of Jesus.
Assist Parents and MKs
We will strive to provide resources and opportunities to learn more about MKs/TCKs and their unique challenges and giftings.
