Student Ministry

419 Purpose Statement

To impact the lives of students in our community in such a way that they experience life-change and become life-changers.

Needing a tool to reach and disciple the students of our community, Pier 419 was built in 2003. A few of our goals for building Pier 419 are:

To have an environment in which meaningful relationships can be fostered between a student and his friends as well as adult leaders.
To provide an environment where students are comfortable bringing their friends.
To provide a state-of-the-art auditorium where students can engage in worship and interact with God's word through clear teaching from God’s word.
To provide small group space that allows a leader and students to focus on God’s word through interactive Bible study.
