STUDENTS

Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12

Vertical Ministries (LEBC Student Ministry) helps students know Jesus, grow in their faith, and build real relationships. Our goal is to create a place where every student feels welcomed, valued, and excited to be part of something bigger.

It’s our prayer that every student is:

  • Reaching others

  • Growing in Christ

  • Connecting with community

  • Serving with purpose

  • Expressing their love of God

Whether it is your first time or you have been coming for years, there is a place for you here!

Weekly Gatherings

Sunday Mornings at 9:15 a.m. Join us for Bible Study Fellowship, real conversations about real life, grounded in God’s Word.

Wednesday evenings at 6:30 p.m. Expect energy, laughter, games, and messages from God’s Word that connect faith to everyday life.

Annual Events

  • MFuge Summer Camp: A life-changing week of serving others, growing in faith, and making unforgettable memories.

  • CORE Weekend: A powerful weekend focused on worship, community, service, and spiritual growth.

During our Monthly Fun & Hangouts, we love to have fun together! Some of our regular events include pool parties, Sweet Saturdays, bowling, Super Bowl parties, and more.

We encourage students to jump in and make a difference by serving in areas like Vacation Bible School, Drive Thru Prayer, Easter Fest, and other church-wide opportunities. Serving is a great way to grow your faith and impact others!
