Student Ministry

The ‘student season’ of this journey is often fraught with questions about themselves.

what is afc?

AFC is an intergenerational student ministry that journeys with students throughout their most formative years, nurturing courageous faith in Jesus that embraces their Chinese identity and their surrounding community. 

Why is this so important to us?

Students need Jesus.

Not because everything will become perfect, but because their identity will be, first and foremost, secure in Christ. This assurance will give them the strength to carry on.

Students need to grow in Jesus.

Accepting Christ is the first step of many. With Christ in their hearts, students begin to explore what it means to live out their God-given identity.
