Christian Heritage :

“At the age the 9, I made a decision for Christ, but it wasn’t until I was a junior in high school that I realized what it really truly meant to be saved from eternal damnation and allow Jesus to be the Lord and Savior of my life by asking him to save me if I was not truly saved. From then on, it has been an incredible journey, but through it all God has been there for me.”

A Word to our Online Visitors:

Students today need to have a place where they can feel loved and accepted in order for them to grow and find out who Christ is and what he desires to do with them. It is my goal to create this environment where students can relax, have fun, and here the truth from God’s word. This is why I believe God has called me and given me a passion to bring non-believing students to Christ by evangelism through discipleship, to connect them with other Christian students, to help them grow in their faith, to disciple and challenge them into finding their own ministry, and to glorify God with their life.
There are many activities here at Beck’s in which this is fulfilled. From summer camps to mission trips and discipleship weekends to weekly discipleship groups, students have the opportunity to hear about God, learn how to grow in their faith, and discover their own God given ministry.
