ABOUT

Elevate is a high-energy, welcoming spiritual family where we exalt Jesus, edify one another, and engage the world around us. We are the student ministry of Living Word Church. Youth of many different races, economic backgrounds and interests call Elevate home, and every aspect of the passionate music, Bible-anchored messages, crazy games, and dynamic events have a singular purpose – to elevate Jesus.

OUR VALUES

With God’s help we:
Passion for Scripture – We believe the Bible is the authoritative word of God. Its primary purposes are to give Him glory and reveal Him to us. We find joy in studying, learning, and allowing Him to direct our lives.   

Welcome in Care – We strive for a culture which reflects the love of Jesus. Elevate is a branch of God’s family pursuing to edify and encourage one another, welcoming the friend and the stranger.
 
Disciple Students – We aspire to grow in the knowledge of Jesus so that being led, we can lead, and being taught, we can teach. Students are discipled by Spirit-led leaders with the truth of God’s Word to grow, to serve, and to lead.

Elevate Leaders

We must give a shout-out to our amazing leaders. They facilitate discussion groups after most Elevate services which are grade and gender specific. They are trained and dedicated to connect students to each other and to  Jesus and strive to see the Elevate values become reality. It’s because of them Elevate is a home to teens from all over the community.
