Our Mission
The goal of Pinedale Student Ministries is to help students answer the difficult questions they face by showing them God’s presence and purpose in the midst of chaotic lives.
We believe God desperately loves and longs to journey with students as they discover what it means to follow Christ and that it is along this journey of developing faith that the most effective and life-changing lessons take place. We seek to provide a safe place where students truly matter and can feel like they belong,.a place where their questions and opinions are taken seriously and a place where they feel the freedom to be themselves.
Our primary desire is to see students grow…emotionally, physically, and ultimately into a mature faith which is personal and active, cultivated by deep questions and hearts that truly seek after the Lord.
