Welcome to CRASH Student Ministries, the youth ministry of Lake Center Bible Church! What exactly is CRASH? In short, CRASH is our identity and our mentality. The idea comes from the story of the rhino. Did you know that rhinos can run up to 30 miles per hour? The only problem is that they can only see 30 feet in front of them. As you can imagine, rhinos end up CRASHing into a lot of things, but who do you think wins the majority of those collisions?

Our motto at CRASH is "Faith is a Verb!" We place a high value not only on knowing what we believe, but also on living out those beliefs. We accomplish both of these goals primarily through CONNECTING with God and each other on Sunday mornings, GROWING in our relationships with God and each other on Wednesday nights, and loving God by SERVING others through various service and OUTreach opportunities.

God calls each of us first and foremost to love Him and to love others. This is easier said than done. CRASH Student Ministries is a group of middle and high school students mostly from Portage, Vicksburg and Schoolcraft who are serious about pursuing God's calling. We meet every Sunday morning at 9:30am for a time of worship and teaching and on the first three Wednesday nights of each month for small-group Bible studies and other fun activities. If this sounds appealing to you, feel free to call me (269-327-1004), email me (pastorbrian@lakecenter.org), or just stop by on a Sunday morning or Wednesday night.

*You can also check out our new and improved "CRASH Teens" group on Facebook for more information, pictures, videos, and upcoming events.

I look forward to meeting you! And remember, Faith is a Verb!
