About Our Youth Ministry

Derek Smith

MISSION STATEMENT: Rusk FBC Student Ministry exists to disciple teenagers and their parents, so that students may grow into followers of Jesus that adore Him, love people, and make disciples of all nations.


STUDENT MINISTRY AND THE ROLE OF PARENTS: We believe that parents are the God-ordained primary disciplers of their children, and we are at our best when we walk alongside them.
