What THRIVE is about?

In 2006, a poll found that 88% of conservative Christian teenagers ended up leaving the church after they graduated from high school. Several years later, that percentage has climbed and isn't stopping.

Here at THRIVE Student Ministries we feel that God has called us to stand in the gap to prevent this from reoccurring. Our purpose is to "Grow Vigorously" in Jesus Christ so that when teenagers graduate from high school, they are able to stand on their own in the world and they won't fall away from their faith.

THRIVE Student Ministries exists to EXTEND God's love to teenagers, showing them their VALUE in Christ, to IMMERSE them in God's Word which will REVEAL how to HONOR God with their lives.
