Scripture First
Every lesson, conversation, activity, and retreat is anchored in God’s Word.
ABOUT THE MINISTRY
Rooted in truth.
Sent with purpose.
We exist to glorify God by making and maturing disciples of Jesus Christ—forming scripturally rooted, missionally faithful witnesses of the gospel.
OUR FOUNDATION
Grounded in the Word. Formed by the body. Sent into the world.
Intergenerational Roots
Students worship, serve, and grow alongside the whole church—not apart from it.
Relational Depth
We choose durable discipleship and meaningful relationships over a crowded calendar.
Mission as Formation
Serving and sharing the gospel are essential parts of becoming a mature disciple.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Conviction before culture.
Sola Scriptura
The Bible is the inspired, inerrant, infallible, and sufficient Word of God—the supreme authority for faith and practice.
The Holy Trinity
Within the one Being that is God, there exist eternally three coequal and coeternal persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Christ’s Two Natures
Jesus Christ is truly God and truly man: one Person with a fully divine nature and a fully human nature. We affirm His substitutionary death and bodily resurrection.
Sola Gratia
Salvation is entirely by God’s grace, not earned or merited by human works.
Sola Fide
Justification is received through faith alone, apart from works, though saving faith bears the fruit of obedience.
Solus Christus
Jesus Christ is the only Mediator between God and man, and salvation is found in Him alone.
Soli Deo Gloria
All of salvation and all of life are for the glory of God alone.
Our ministry operates under Pine First Baptist Church and affirms the Baptist Faith and Message 2000 as a faithful modern summary of biblical doctrine.
LIFE TOGETHER
Not an event.
A church family.
Students are welcomed into the life of the whole church while receiving focused biblical teaching and age-appropriate discipleship.
