STUDENTS @ COMMUNITY

Follow Jesus. Find Family. Share His Love.

Our Student Ministry exists to connect students and parents with Christ, helping them grow in faith, trust, and obedience to Him. Everything we do is centered on three core values: Following Jesus, Being Family, and Sharing God’s Love. Whether through worship, small groups, or fun events, we create a welcoming environment where students can grow in their faith and build lasting relationships.

SNG

Sunday Night Gathering is the heart of our student ministry! Every Sunday night, students gather for worship, games, food, and a meaningful message with breakout groups to discuss what they’ve learned. It’s a welcoming space where anyone—whether new to church or a lifelong believer—can feel at home.

Rec Night

On the second Wednesday of every month, we open up the gym for Rec Night, an easygoing and fun way to connect with other students. In the middle of the night, students take the lead in sharing their testimonies and the gospel. It’s a great place to hang out, play games, and hear real stories of faith from your peers.

Community Groups

For students wanting to go deeper, Community Groups meet on Wednesdays (except for Rec Night week) and are split by grade and gender. These small groups (10-12 students) focus on Bible study, prayer, and faith-building friendships—a place to grow spiritually while building strong, supportive relationships with peers.
