Student Ministries

The UMMBC Student Ministry exists to Reach Pre-Christians students, to Connect them with other Christians, to help them Grow in their faith, and to challenge those growing to Discover their calling in ministry and Honor God with their lives.

Vision

UMMBC envisions that students will be encouraged and will encourage each other to develop their God given gifts.

Core Values that drive our ministry:

• We believe parents are the primary disciple-makers in their child’s life.
• We believe students need people in their lives they can trust.
• We believe the student ministry must be biblically centered.
• We believe in empowering student to serve their community and the World.
• We believe true happiness comes from an authentic relationship with God.
• We believe children are important to God and a vital part of His Church today and tomorrow. 
• We believe in relevant teaching that impacts students where they are on their spiritual journey.
