Student Ministry Vision
Our Student Ministries program focuses on 7 through 12 grade students. Our goal is to help students love God, love others, and impact their world.
We believe that every student is important. We want each student to feel connected and cared about and we want them to have a great time! We want to help them live their life according to God’s Word by challenging them to know, worship, serve and love God. We want to give each student the opportunity to use his abilities to minister to others at home, at school, in our church, in the community and around the world. We want every student to be able to share and defend his faith and we also want to challenge every student to be in an accountable relationship in order to grow in their faith.
Sunday Morning Program
Sunday morrnings are an exciting time in the Grace student ministries room. The goal of our Sunday mornings is to build community and accountability that will carry on into the school week, and to equip students with the tools and knowledge they need to be able to use the Word of God as an asset to their daily lives. In addition, we are constantly searching and looking for ways to model how important it is that followers of the Way live passionate lives of service in pursuit of Christ.
Wednesday Night Program
Our Wednesday Night Program runs from October through April each year. On Wednesday Nights we split our group by High School (grades 9-12) and Middle School (grades 7-8) from 6:45 PM to 8:00 PM.
High School Program 6:45 PM – 8:00 PM
Our high school students meet in Room 207 at 6:45. We normally spend some time hanging out and having fun by playing some sort of crazy opening game. The night also includes a time of prayer where our students share prayer requests and pray for each other and a discussion of God’s Word. This winter we will be discussing a variety of topics including what God says about my commitment to Him, my relationship with my parents, my attitude for life, integrity, dating, who I should marry, and purity. We will be focusing on how God can help us deal with these topics. Come and learn how God can help you live an amazing life!
Middle School Program 6:45 PM - 8:00 PM
Our middle school students meet in our Family Life Center. After playing some crazy games in the gym, everyone heads upstairs to Room 208 for the rest of the night. The night includes a discussion of God’s Word, prayer time and small group interaction. This winter we will be discussing a variety of topics including overcoming temptation, obeying God, overcoming prejudice, living out real faith, the power of words, commitment to God, and God's instructions for life. Don't miss this great series where you can learn how to please God!
