High School Ministry

WHAT IS HSM?

Bible Center High School Ministry (HSM) exists to raise up students who know Jesus and bring His hope to West Virginia.

Through engaging mid-week and weekend gatherings, life changing small groups, leadership development, and fun events, students don’t just attend, they are equipped to make disciples of Jesus. Our heart is to help every student follow Jesus for real and live out their faith with purpose and boldness.

Join us as summer ends and we head into a new school year!

BRING THE HOPE.

Raising up students to bring the hope of Jesus to West Virginia.

You matter. Your life has purpose. The God Who made you wants to use you right where you are: in your school, your friendships, your family, and your future. HSM is a place where high school students connect with God and each other, grow in faith, and learn how to make a real difference.

Jagur Smith

Director of High School Ministries

Jagur grew up in Charleston, WV, and has been part of Bible Center Church since 1999. He graduated from West Virginia State University in 2020 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications, where he also met his wife, Kaylee. During high school and college, he interned in both worship and family ministries, later serving in several full-time roles within BCC’s worship ministry. In 2025, after leading small groups and youth worship since 2017, Jagur felt God’s call to lead High School Ministries. He is passionate about helping students grow in their faith. He  loves using music (whether attending concerts, writing songs, or helping others create) to connect with people and point them to Christ.

REAL LIFE HAPPENS IN SMALL GROUPS

Real growth happens in circles, not just rows. Every student is placed in a grade- and gender-specific small group led by trained adult leaders who care deeply about students. Small groups are a safe place to talk about life, faith, struggles, and purpose. This is where friendships are formed and faith becomes real.

EVENTS THAT BUILD COMMUNITY

From retreats and camps to outreach nights and service projects, our events are designed to help students grow closer to Jesus and closer to each other.

Fun matters. Community matters. Growth matters.

GOD IS CHANGING LIVES AT HSM.

We make disciples.

CONNECT

Students connect with God and with others through engaging events, powerful Wednesday nights, and meaningful Sunday gatherings. No matter what your life looks like, you belong here.

GROW

Faith becomes personal in small groups. Students build real friendships, ask honest questions, and develop HABITS that help their faith last beyond high school.

MULTIPLY

We don’t just gather students. We send them to reach their One More. HSM equips students to lead, serve, and bring the hope of Jesus to their schools and communities across West Virginia.

NOT JUST ATTENDERS… LEADERS.

We believe students are not just the future of the church. They are the church.

HSM develops student leaders who reach their One More, serve, and live boldly for Jesus. Through leadership opportunities and hands-on ministry experience, students are challenged to step up and bring hope wherever they go.

FOR PARENTS

We believe parents are the primary spiritual influence in a student’s life. Our desire is to partner with you.

Our leaders are trained, background-checked, and committed to helping students follow Jesus in a safe and encouraging environment. We strive to communicate clearly, prioritize biblical teaching, and focus on long-term discipleship, not just momentary experiences.
