KSM is a place where student’s stories matter.
We are curious about what it means to live out God’s story of love by exploring the Bible and learning to listen to the Holy Spirit. At KSM you’ll find real friendships and a space to ask big questions about what it means to follow Jesus.
God made you on purpose, for a purpose. At KSM, we will encourage each other to follow Jesus, challenge one another to love like Jesus, and grow together in the ways of Jesus on the path that leads to real freedom and a life full of meaning.
What You’ll Experience…
KSM creates a safe and welcoming environment where teens can discover who they are through strong, meaningful relationships—with both peers and mentors who are passionate about students and serving Jesus.
Our weekly gatherings are designed with students’ needs in mind to make exploring faith in Jesus both engaging and fun. Each week features Bible-centered teaching, worship (students help lead!), food, and small group activities.
Our goal is for every student to feel welcome and recognize that they are uniquely created in God’s image, deeply loved, and called to share God’s love with others through their own story.
