WHAT IS MALIBU PACIFIC STUDENTS?
"OWNING A FAITH THAT PREPARES US FOR LIFE"
RESOURCES
Taking ownership of your faith.
The vision of the student ministries at Malibu Pacific Church is for students to own a faith that prepares them for life. As a church, we will continue to do everything we can to equip your student’s faith, but we also know that your student only gets around 50-75 hours per year at church… However, they spend around 3,000 hours at home.
In light of that, Malibu Pacific wants you to be ready to inspire and equip your students to have a growing and practical relationship with Jesus, both at church AND at home.
In light of that, Malibu Pacific wants you to be ready to inspire and equip your students to have a growing and practical relationship with Jesus, both at church AND at home.
