bigOstudent Ministries

We exist to lead students in their journey to know the God of the universe, the One who created each of us with a purpose. Our desire & goal is to know that every student has the life of a "Christ Follower" modeled & exemplified for them. If you're a student (middle school, high school, college) and are looking for a place to plug in and be challenged, encouraged and refined in your walk with God, come check us out.

Sunday Morning Bible Study

Join us Sunday mornings at 9:30 for donuts & time to hang out, talk about the weekend, make some new friends and dive into God's Word. We begin in large group & then split out into small groups for discussion.

Sean McCoskey :// Worship Leader

With an attitude that lights up a room, Sean challenges our students and leads our band in times of corporate worship. Rich in songwriting skills and love for God's Word, Sean brings a fresh, energetic perspective to how we come together in praise.

Matt Young :// Youth Associate

On his 2nd tenure with us here at bigOstudents, Matt helps make everything happen! So many of the "little details" and things done behind the scenes are taken care of by this man. And he is passionate about building relationships with students and seeing them become followers of Christ.

Mark Sweat :// Technical Guru

If it's technical, Mark's the man! Video, computers, sound...you name it. Mark makes sure that we're up and running, that our Videos are flippin' sweet and that you have access to them. Whether you're on myspace, Facebook or Youtube you can always find bigOstudents!

Nathan Jones :// Web Designer & Publisher

If you like our website or anything about it, this is the man to thank! Nathan not only designs and maintains bigOstudents.com but he also creatively designs most of our banners for sermon series, publicity and events.

Andrew Lehr :// Campus Outreach

If you see some crazy guy on your campus who seems to be talking to everyone...it's probably Lehr! Probably the funniest, craziest person we know. And most important, Lehr loves Jesus!
