You made it!!! You’ve discovered the digital home for FLOOD Student Ministry… our ministry for students in 7th-12th grades.
It’s our desire to help students experience and embrace the FLOOD that is the love of God, and once tasting it, disciple them to share that love with others… flooded by God and flooding others. We do that in a lot of different ways. Experience the Flood!
WE INVITE YOU to check out the rest of the church’s website and our youth ministry. Our Wednesday night services are a great place for first time visitors. Every week we gather in the Student Ministry Center from 6:30-7:45 pm for a great time of fun, new friendships, and amazing worship with relevant Bible study.
We believe in the power of family.
Most parents today feel their teens want nothing to do with them. And, while they often express how much of a damper parents can be on their reputation, etc., research says they value your thoughts, opinions, and beliefs more than you can know.
God’s mandate for parents is that they be the chief spiritual stewards of the family. And, to say that “this is no small task,” would be a major understatement. Nevertheless, it is still God’s primary plan to raise up a godly generation.
These words that I am giving you today are to be in your heart. Repeat them to your children. Talk about them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Bind them as a sign on your hand and let them be a symbol on your forehead. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. —Deuteronomy 6:6-9
Because of this, we want to partner with you to help you be what God has called you to be… so that in turn, your child will be the Christian, God desires for them to be.
Every volunteer leader we have wants the best for your child. From occasional conversations between you and your child’s bible study leader to specific parent training and coaching, we want to be here for you and your family. And, let me say, “thank you” for all that you do as a parent. Your support and involvement has been such a crucial element of what God is doing with our students and nothing can happen without your prayers and partnership! Parenting is a skill that is becoming all to absent with this current generation and I want you to know personally how much I admire you for the love you give to your student!
Words cannot really express how excited I am about the upcoming year. WE will continue to offer the same great programs and opportunities for involvement that we have always had. In addition, we are going to have a greater emphasis on connection and community for your student by encouraging them to go farther than just Wednesday nights or Sunday mornings.

All we can say is… THANK YOU! This past Sunday night, God once again reminded us just how blessed we are and how amazing it is when He moves through the hearts and hands of His people.Our annual Dinner & Dessert Auction fundraiser was more than just an event—it was a picture of the body of Christ coming together in unity, generosity, and service. With around 275 in attendance, we were overwhelmed by the love, laughter, and support that filled the room.From the 155 pounds of brisket and 40 pounds of sausage that were smoked to perfection… to the incredible spread of sides prepared by our parents… to the delicious desserts and creative auction items donated by so many—this was a full-family effort.Dads sliced meat. Moms provided sides and desserts. Our dessert registration team made sure everything ran smoothly behind the scenes, and our accounting crew worked tirelessly to track every bid and donation. Students filled cups, carried trays, and cleaned tables. Our church family came out in full force—bidding, giving, and encouraging our students every step of the way.And while we’re still finalizing totals, we’re excited to share that we raised just shy of our goal of $28,000! That’s money that will help send students to youth camp, on mission trips, and to events throughout the year—making life-changing opportunities accessible for families who might not otherwise be able to afford them. We can’t name everyone, but if you baked a dessert, donated an item, gave your time, placed a bid, or simply showed up—you played a role in something eternal. We are so thankful for YOU. And of course, a huge thank-you to our auctioneer, Terry Driggers, for bringing energy, fun, and heart to every bid called—your leadership helped make the night a success!To our church family at Vansickle Baptist, to every parent, every teen, every guest, and every neighbor who stepped in to help or cheer us on: thank you for believing in what God is doing in the lives of students here. Thank you for investing in the next generation. And thank you for showing us what it means to be the hands and feet of Jesus.To God be the glory—great things He has done. ... See MoreSee Less
