                                                    Our purpose is to help students in Roswell find their God given purpose in life and become life-long and fully devoted followers of Christ. 
                                                     
                                                    We gather weekly for worship services in the Student Ministry Building.  Small groups meet weekly in private homes, and RootBuilders meets on Sunday morning for middle and high school students.  Grace students are also serving in our community, around the state, and in Venezuela.

                                                    Keep reading for more information on our various events and programs.

                                                    Helping out Harvest Ministries

                                                    Picture
                                                    Each week (during the school year) we will be helping out Harvest Ministries by bagging pinto beans and rice.  On Wednesday evenings at 6pm, high school students can come early to youth and help bag beans and rice for distribution to Harvest's clients.  Middle school students have the same opportunity to serve on Sunday afternoon before youth, from 5:15-5:45PM.

                                                    We want to be the hands and feet of Christ to a community in desperate need of His love and help from His people!

                                                    At the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia.

                                                    This event is unique to say the least and is open to high school seniors and all college students only.

                                                    The cost per student is $389 including transportation, hotel, and conference tickets.  A $70 transferable deposit must be received in the Student Ministry Office by November 30, 2011 to get this rate.  Prices will go up after that.

                                                    Note: Passion will not be having a conference in 2013
