Worship Opportunities on Sundays and Wednesday Nights


Middle school, high school and college students worship during our regular Sunday morning services. Middle school and high school students also have the opportunity to worship in special grade level groups on Wednesday nights.

the PEAK is our mid-week worship service for high school students which shatters the myth that church is boring. Through interactive teaching —led by Pastor Deron Henry, a live student band —led by Shawn Newby, videos, and loads more, students learn the timeless truths of God’s Word and build lasting relationships.

College-age students are encouraged to worship during Sunday morning services.

SERVE

  • Students in 6th-12th grades serve within the church by helping in various areas such as audio/video support, lighting, puppetry, missions projects, childcare, etc. Contact Mrs. Deb for ways to get involved.

  • College students have the opportunity to serve during mission opportunities and trips, assisting with middle school and high school events, and through projects around the church and in the community.

PRAY


Prayer is an integral part of our student ministry. We have a prayer mailbox on the right side of the stage in the Student Ministry Center for students to put prayer requests/praise reports in. There are slips of paper and pencils next to it. If you have a praise report or prayer request, you can put them in at any time and raise the flag and we’ll get these and pray for you. You can also contact Pastor Rick, Pastor Deron, or Mrs. Deb directly with any prayer requests.
