NAVIGATING LIFE TOGETHER
ALL ABOUT NSM:
VISION
To see students Navigate Life Together in Christ.
MISSION
To create opportunities for Jr. High and High School students to connect with god, adult mentors and each other
DNA
Energy: Passion, excitement, intense, NOT LAID BACK, work hard, play hard, and contagious are just a few words to describe our Student Ministry culture! I know this is unusual for a student ministry, but that's just how we roll.
Humor: Why did the chicken cross the road...because it was funny...and people have been joking around about it ever since. Humor breaks down walls and laughter is like good medicine (Proverbs 17:22). That's why we don't take ourselves too seriously...but make no mistake about it, we take our mission VERY SERIOUSLY!
Personal: We are all about getting to the deep conversations of life, quickly. If we don't ask the deep questions NOW, we could miss our chance. Conversation is King, get personal quick, get past the surface, know people, remember conversations. Also, because we understand that there are a lot of military families that could be transferred at any moment, we want our students to build deep friendships quickly...so we'll get personal.
Excellence: We want you to notice that NSM is all about "quality over quantity". We may do less "activities", but the ones we do will be done with excellence. We promise to do the little things better than anyone else...we are constant tweakers. Ok..."tweakers" is not really a word, but "tweaky" is. Our NSM team is VERY tweaky.
