Our desire is to see our middle and high school students (grades 6-12) become devoted followers of Jesus and share that love of Christ with everyone they meet. Our students get together frequently on both Wednesdays and Sundays to develop deeper friendships and gain a deeper understanding of the Word of God.
Weekly Gatherings
Wednesday Nights
Faith Student Ministry meets on Wednesday nights from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. for prayer, games, worship, and Bible study. We meet across from the main building (2314 Library Circle), and we invite all students in 6th through 12th grade to join us!
We’ve decided to pursue an exegetical-expository approach to the Apostle Peter’s first letter during the summer months.
Going verse-by-verse through the book, we’ll cover topics ranging from personal holiness (1 Peter 1:16-17), corporate unity (1 Peter 2:1-3, 9), suffering-righteously in a fallen world (1 Peter 4:12-19), and other implications of Christ’s death and resurrection (1 Peter 3:18-22) to more practical topics like gender and family (1 Peter 3:1-7) and being part of a local church (1 Peter 4:10-11, 5:1-11).
We’ll rely on LifeWay’s Explore the Bible curriculum to keep our small group leaders and up-front teachers synced up and pulling in the same direction. We’re excited about what the Lord can and does do when His people open His Word together.
Sunday Mornings (During the School Year)
The Scriptures have a great deal to say about young people. Many heroes of the faith were heroic in their youth, consider Josiah and Samuel, Daniel and his friends, David’s slingshot, or most importantly, Jesus’ questions in His Father’s house (Luke 2:46-49). Like their Lord, students (6th – 12th grade, 11-18-year-olds) increase in wisdom and stature, and – by God’s grace, in favor with God and man.
The uniqueness of their season of life as maturing children or young adults warrants special instruction. This is true, right, and good. After all, Paul gave Timothy and Titus specific instructions concerning young men and women in contrast to older men and older women (1 Tim 5:1-2, Titus 2:4-6).
Beginning Fall of 2024, our goal is for our student ministries to function like our adult Fellowship Groups on Sunday mornings from 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. We will read scripture, exhort, and teach (1 Timothy 4:13), pray, discuss, and devote ourselves to good works.
Contact Information and Volunteering
Declaring the Word of God and discipling students into mature and devoted followers of Christ is best done with many hands. We think that the most effective way to disciple students is to partner with their parents and other more seasoned saints in the faith. If you have an interest in serving with us for the sake of the Kingdom of God at work in the lives of students, then please reach out, and we’ll get you started on the application process.
