Students in grades 6-12 meet once a month during our worship service on what are called Student Sundays. (This allows our student ministry volunteers to participate in the adult Sunday experience for the rest of the month.)
- eat free food
- play games
- hear a helpful teaching created just for students
- meet in small groups for connection, discussion, encouragement, challenge, and prayer
Check out our Events Page to see upcoming Student Sundays.
On the alternate Sundays, students can sit together or with their parents in the adult experience, or they can choose to serve in our Student Impact program.
Here’s where the rubber meets the road! We believe that if middle- and high-school students want to grow in their relationship with Jesus, it is critical for them to learn to be the church, not just attend church. Student Impact is where students grow by strategically serving others.
Every other week, students can be found leading small groups in Waumba Land and UpStreet, running sound, computer graphics, and lights, or directing traffic.

Your student will:
• Get away to the river to unplug from the pressures of middle/high school.
• Spend time with people who want to see them grow stronger.
• Create space to reflect and worship.
• Have a TON of fun and create lasting memories with their friends.
Vertical Reality
We know that, when students have a growing relationship with Jesus, they have a compass to guide them their whole lives. But learning what it looks like to follow Jesus in the “everyday” things of life is challenging.
Students tell us that it’s hard to find time to read the Bible and pray. They shared that they have big faith questions and they struggle to believe God loves them. They say that their life feels stressful and overwhelming.
That’s why we’ve created a fall weekend retreat for 6th–12th graders. We want to carve out space in their busy schedules to focus on what matters most.
