STUDENT MINISTRY

GRADES 6–12

STUDENT MINISTRY

A family ministry teaching students to reach their world.

Before a student ever receives a license they’ve been given responsibility; no, not for a car, but for their life. That’s right! Long before and after anyone was put in charge of the direction of a car, they were placed behind the wheel of their life. As a result, students often find themselves lost and in need of help. Thankfully, there is a road map! Thankfully, there’s a plan for life! Sometimes, all it takes to find it…is to MERGE!

WEDNESDAY NIGHTS

SMALL GROUP Nights

1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th Wednesday of every month

This night is specifically designed to get students out of rows and into circles where they can interact and grow stronger connections with their peers.

Each SMALL GROUP is interest based and we’re confident that everyone will be able to join a group that coincides with their personality. As a part of SMALL GROUP Night we’ll spend time digging into the principles of following God and have at least an hour for students to be in their small group.

6:30pm Doors Open (students can hangout, eat a snack, play and connect)
7:00–7:20pm Welcome and Group Discussion
