IBC Student Ministry is built upon . . .
Purpose: Our ministry exists to glorify God by assisting parents in evangelizing and equipping students through the Word of God to present each one complete in Christ.

As a Ministry we are committed to…
• Teaching and applying the Word of God to students in both public (preaching) and private (small groups) ministry.
• To a Christ centered Gospel that emphasizes repentance and shows the character of God’s love as both mercy and Justice.

• To providing adult leaders who can model mature Christian Character and show the love of Christ to students through an incarnational ministry.
• To providing age appropriate ministries and activities to Middle School, High School, and College age students.
• To a Biblical model of parenting and to do all we can to foster the critical relationship between parents and students.
• To helping students discover their spiritual gifts, training them to utilize them, and giving them opportunities to minister with them.
• To allow every student to be “known” through a small group ministry.
• To providing training that helps equip students in theology, apologetics, Bible knowledge, and personal ministry.
• To exposing students to local, global, and personal missions ministry.
• To Communicate the heart of Jesus for the lost, by equipping and challenging students to become missionaries to their own culture as Salt and Light.
