Student Ministry
Here at NPPC, youth are important to us because we recognize they are facing unprecedented change in today's fast-paced world. Our student ministry gives them a grounding to help them realize their own identity in Jesus. We are committed to helping youth discover faith for the first time, as well as grow their faith through studying Scripture, retreats, and mission trips. Through this, they learn to serve the community and those around them.
Middle School Progams
IGNITE - Thursdays @ 6:00PM (September - March)
IGNITE is the core of our junior high ministry. Based on Matthew 5:14, Ignite is a call to shine bright for Christ in being the light of the world. Each night is packed with crazy games, a home-cooked meal, interactive surprises, and a time of small-group Bible time that keeps us connected to Christ and each other. Middle school students are mentored by our Senior Interns (highly gifted high school juniors and seniors who’ve committed to serving as leaders in our ministry) and adult volunteers. Follow us on Instagram @ignite.514. IGNITE begins September 13.
High School Programs
SALT - Sundays @ 6:45PM (September - April)
Come join high school students every week for fellowship and discipleship. SALT is based almost entirely around small groups: same-gender / same-grade groups, each led by our amazing adult volunteers, in which students are able to get deep with Christ and with each other. SALT is the real deal – come and see what Jesus is all about and what He means when He says that we are the SALT of the earth. Follow us on Instagram @stay.salty513. SALT begins September 13.
Confirmation
The confirmation process helps students to explore the Christian faith – who God is, who we are, and what Christ’s church really is – and to confirm these commitments for themselves. This course can be a pivotal moment in a young person’s life. While our holistic confirmation project encompasses a number of elements, the main sessions kick off in January. The class is mostly made up of high school freshmen, but all high school students are welcome. In the past, our confirmation class has gone through the Youth Alpha course together as part of the process! For more information, contact Naomi McPeters (nmcpeters@thecornernj.com).
