What are our Goals?

At Illumin8 Student Ministry, our goals are rooted in faith, purpose, and transformation. We strive to create a Christ-centered environment where students can grow spiritually, emotionally, and socially. Our mission is to:

  • Equip students with biblical knowledge that empowers them to live out their faith boldly.
  • Foster meaningful relationships through mentorship, fellowship, and community engagement.
  • Develop leadership and life skills that prepare students for success both inside and outside the church.
  • Create impactful worship experiences that connect students to God in authentic and powerful ways.
  • Support families and volunteers by providing resources, training, and opportunities to serve.
  • Build a culture of excellence and purpose where every student discovers their identity in Christ and their role in the Kingdom.

We believe that every student has a divine purpose, and our goal is to help them uncover it, embrace it, and walk it out with confidence.

Our Story

Illumin8 Student Ministry is more than a program—it’s a movement that has grown with purpose, passion, and people. Over the past 15 years, we’ve watched our church flourish and our student ministry evolve from humble beginnings into a thriving community of young believers. We’ve seen our babies grow into bold, faith-filled adults, and we’ve celebrated every step of the journey.

Our story is marked by transformation. We’ve awarded scholarships to support academic dreams, honored students for their achievements, and recognized the dedication of our staff and volunteers who make it all possible. Every event, every lesson, and every moment of worship has been a building block in the lives of those we serve.

We are proud of our past, energized by our present, and excited for what’s ahead. Illumin8 continues to be a place where purpose is discovered, faith is ignited, and lives are changed—one student at a time.

Our Core Values

Our ministry exists to reach those in darkness—spiritually, emotionally, or socially

We value the Lordship of Jesus Christ!

We acknowledge Jesus Christ as the head of our church and fully submit ourselves to His will. In every aspect of our ministry our goal is always to honor and glorify the Lord Jesus Christ.

We value Bible-centered Preaching and Teaching!

We believe the Bible is God’s inspired authoritative and trustworthy rule of faith and practice for Christians. Therefore, we submit ourselves to its teaching, commit ourselves to do what it says, and yield our lives to become what Christ desires for us to be.

We value Prayer!

We believe in the power of prayer. Therefore, the ministries and activities our church will be characterized by a reliance on personal and corporate prayer in all areas of our lives and ministry.

A beacon of light

We are committed to being a guiding light for students navigating the challenges of life. In a world often clouded by confusion, fear, and uncertainty, we strive to reflect the love, truth, and hope of Christ.

We value the Family!

We believe God ordained the family to glorify him. We are committed to cultivate an atmosphere which promotes spiritual growth within the family by reaching families with the gospel, discipling them in Christ-like character and teaching each family member how to fulfill their God-given role.
