SUNDAY MORNINGS

IN STUDENT MINISTRY

What You Can Expect

We desire to teach students to know God's Word. We want them to be in a safe environment to hear, discuss, and apply what God says in Scripture to their own lives and environments. God desires everyone to be in community. Every student has a small group that they can belong to where they have a trained adult leader facilitating conversation to give them the opportunity to engage with God's Word and each other on a weekly basis.

Details & Hours

Small groups are divided by grade and gender. Each small group is lead by a trained adult leader.

Our teaching team is responsible for approximately 20-30 minutes of teaching at the beginning of each service hour.

Small group leaders are provided a summary of the main point of the Scripture used and a series of questions designed to engage with the primary truth taught in the lesson.

Our small groups are designed to promote a lifelong, discipling relationship between a mature Christian adult and the student. Ideally, a small group leader begins with their group in 7th grade and leads them through the end of their senior year.

We believe that the consistent and long-term connection with their small group leader gives students the opportunity to radically grow in their faith through a dependable discipling relationship. The longer the relationship has to grow the more likely a student is going to see what is being taught in Scripture worked out in the lives of their adult leader.

Students spend each year with the same group of students as well. They build relationships with one another as they grow in their faith through middle school, high school, and into college.

9:30 AM

Middle School & High School Small Groups

During the 9:30 AM service, we offer small groups for all middle school and high school students divided by age and gender.

There are also classes for kids and adults available during this hour, and services are available at 8:00 AM and 11:00 AM. 

11:00 AM

Middle School, High School, & College Small Groups

During the 11:00 AM service, we offer classes for all students. All of our high school students meet in small groups divided by age and gender. Our college aged students have one co-ed class, and we also offer one co-ed middle school small group at this hour.
Our College small group meets in our main building (Room C212).
There are also classes for kids and adults available during this hour, and services are available at 8:00 AM and 9:30 AM.

It is very important to us that you have options to attend service together as a family. Offering small groups in this way provides the best possible experience for your student to grow in relationship with their peers and still offer your entire family time to attend worship together.

We encourage you to bring a Bible, a journal, and a pen.

However, we have all of those things available for students!
