We Are Message Students

We are the student ministry of The Message Church in Tempe, AZ—
not normal, not the same, and proud of it.

We live outside the box, unashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and unafraid to share who He is and what He’s done in our lives. We’re bold, we’re passionate, and we’re all in for Christ.
