About Pathways Student Ministries
Our desire is for students to have an encounter with the Living God,
which leads to a life changing relationship with Jesus Christ.
This relationship inspires them into service, urges them to dig
deeper into scripture, draw closer to the Creator, and encourages
them to love with a Christ-like love.
Pathways Baptist Church offers multiple opportunities for students
to engage in ministry. From camps and retreats to small groups,
there is a place for everyone to come together in ministry!

WHY ARE WE CALLED 3STRNDS?
1. Our source verse is, “A cord of three strands is not quickly broken,”
from Ecclesiastes 4:12. And so from the context of the verses before,
we take that to mean three strands:
a. God's Story
b. Your Story
c. Your Friend’s Story
2. You’re actually missing a vowel...?
a. Well, we’re students, and our story isn’t complete yet, and so a
missing vowel in our name seemed a good way to signify
that we are still and always on a journey with Jesus that never
really ends. We still pronounce it “strands,” though.
3. The distressed feature is just for style?
a. No, we’re students! And our lives are messy and full of chaos,
and we look for Jesus in all of that, so the distressed style
seemed a good way to communicate that.
4. Is there a meaning to the colors?
a. Glad you asked! Pathways is a multicultural church, but most
youth groups of multicultural churches aren’t. But we are!
And so the colors represent all the features of our
many forms of diversity, with the uniform shape and size
representing God’s love for each of us.
