Student Ministries
At KBC, our goal is to partner with parents as they strive to lead their youth towards Jesus in meaningful and tangible ways. We endeavour to craft a safe space where students can learn to be vulnerable, are challenged in their faith, and encouraged in their spiritual growth. We strive to walk with students during their journey from adolescence to adulthood, leading them to develop the tools they will need to take ownership of their faith and to be self-engaging in the Christian community by the time they finish high school. Wherever a student falls on the spectrum of faith, from seeker to mature believer, our passion is to lead students closer to Jesus, help them to discover their gifts and to provide them opportunities to get plugged into community.

Summit (Senior Youth) is where we start encouraging the youth to start thinking about their faith as a personal choice. It is where we guide them on their path to making their faith their own instead of something they may have adopted from their family and what it means to plant their flag for Christ.
