Student Ministry

We’re dedicated to providing a place for students (6th -12th grade) to connect with God.

STUDENT MINISTRY

A Place to Belong and Grow

The Student Ministry is for 6th – 12th graders. We are dedicated to providing an environment that is safe, fun, engaging, and attractive to all students. We also strive to help our students grow in their relationship with Jesus, learn how to use and apply what is written in the Bible to their lives, learn how to serve and give generously, and connect with other students and adult leaders through authentic, nurturing relationships.

​The students meet on Sunday nights. Doors open at 5:45 pm with a social gathering, games, and fun to provide a time for the students to interact and hang out. We begin our services at 6:20 which include worship, bible teaching, and application. After the service, we break into small groups to connect with other students and adult leaders, discuss the lesson and figure out how to apply it to our lives, dig deeper into the Bible and prayer. We wrap up at 7:45 pm.

STUDENT'S MESSAGE

Current Teaching

Todays Choices, Tomorrow's Receipts

Over the next three weeks, we're diving into what it actually looks like to live with wisdom in a world that's constantly telling you to just do whatever feels right. You've probably heard it all before: follow your heart, live your truth, you only live once. Sounds good... until it doesn't lead anywhere good. Jesus talked about two paths: one that leads to life and one that leads to destruction. Most people aren't even thinking about which one they're on. This series is your wake-up call.

Summer's coming. You'll have more freedom, more time, and more choices than usual. And what you do with that matters more than you think. The habits you build, the people you surround yourself with, and how you spend your time. It's all shaping your future. The world will offer you distractions. Quick highs. Empty stuff that looks fun now but doesn't last. But God? He offers something better. Real wisdom. A life with purpose. A direction that actually leads somewhere. So, the question is simple: Are you just going to drift this summer... or are you going to live like you know better? Pull up. Don't miss it.
