"Ardent" = Fervent, Passionate, Intensely Devoted, Fierce

PURPOSE STATEMENT: Ardent Youth Ministry exists to be a place where students know they BELONG, will be challenged to PURSUE Jesus Christ, will learn to WORSHIP with their life, will find their own place to SERVE, and ultimately will become an INFLUENCE for Christ in their world.
