STUDENT MINISTRY

Student Ministry includes 6th through 12th grades. We have three main goals in Student Ministry at Anchor:

  1. To reach students in our community who need Jesus,

  2. To prepare students to walk in the world as disciples who make disciples, and

  3. To partner with parents and families in the work of establishing faith and faithfulness in the lives of our students.
