“…sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence…”

The Senior Challenge is an opportunity for graduating seniors to spend part of their spring semester working through major life topics with Pastor Chad. Throughout this time, Pastor Chad will walk alongside students as they seek to study, explain and defend their biblical worldview in a way that is both practical and evangelistic. By the end of the course students will be better prepared for their transition into adulthood.
