Sup, Core Fam!

We're excited to kick off our summer Bible study, "Not My Jesus," led by Mr. Dan Schmidt!

There are a lot of ideas floating around about who Jesus is, but we're going straight to God's Word to discover the real Jesus for ourselves.

We'll meet on Wednesdays from 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM in Hebrews Café, and yes, food will be provided!

If you're entering 6th grade through graduating high school, we'd love to have you join us.
Bring your Bible, bring a friend, and come hang out with us all summer long as we grow in faith together.

See y'all Wednesday! 📖✝️

Core Student Ministries made a promise to serve this community, and they did just that. A day full of back-to-back service projects and a bunch of hearts that are even fuller.

I can't tell you how many times I heard, "This is so much fun!" & I even got an, "I think I'd like to give you a thankful hug." *hugs*

Those moments remind me that service changes more than the people being served.

It changes us.

I've watched these students grow in their faith, their confidence, and their compassion for others. They're learning that following Jesus isn't just about what happens inside the walls of a church. It's about loving and serving people wherever God places us.
I'm so proud of who they're becoming, and I can't wait to see how God continues to use them. ❤️

Core Student Ministries Family,

Our hearts are heavy today.

What happened last night has shaken so many of our students.
Some were there, some had close friends there, but either way, this hits close to home.
A life was lost, and that kind of loss doesn’t just stay in one place… it ripples through an entire community.

We’re grieving. And we know many of our students are, too.
In moments like this, there aren’t always the right words. There’s confusion, fear, sadness… and sometimes just silence. Whatever your student is feeling right now- it’s okay. They don’t have to carry it alone.

We’re here.

Our doors are open for any student who needs a place to sit, talk, pray, or just be. No pressure, no expectations - just a safe place surrounded by people who care deeply about them.

Please join us in praying- for the family who lost their child, for the students who experienced this firsthand, and for our entire community as we process something that never should have happened.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.” - Psalm 34:18

We love every one of you, and we’re walking through this together.

Every year, Core Student Ministries has the honor of sponsoring Easter baskets for children who have been impacted by sexual assault and domestic violence. Children who, in many cases, have had to leave their homes on very short notice.

These baskets go to families served by S.A.A.F.E. House, and the number changes each year depending on the need… this year, that need was 36.

We are so proud of our students, who poured their hearts into individually hand-making every single basket. They didn’t just put them together. They truly cared about making them special and beautiful for each child who will receive one.

It’s moments like this that remind us what ministry is all about. Sometimes you don't know if you're making an impact.. until you see their servant hearts. Then, you know. ❤️‍🔥

As we celebrate what was created, we also remember why it matters. We invite you to take just a moment to pause and pray for the children and families receiving these baskets.

Lord, we lift up every child and family receiving these baskets. Be their safety, their peace, and their healing in the middle of the storm. Surround them with Your love and remind them they are not alone. In Jesus’ name, amen.
