In Grove Students, we want to encourage students toward a personal and authentic everyday faith. We understand that teenagers have busy and demanding lives but we know that even among the daily schedules, there is something more. Jesus is not just someone we talk about when we’re at church, but a person we desire to follow and grow close to.
We want students to know that they belong here, without exception. Our weekly gatherings are designed to be places where students can ask the big questions they may be thinking about and use some of those conversations to help them clarify their faith.
We also love to have fun together! By enjoying laughter and shared experiences, it connects us in special ways so we always make room for fun during our gatherings.
MIDDLE SCHOOL
We meet during church on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month. All middle school students are invited to sit upstairs on the far side of the balcony at the beginning of church service and then go together to The Loft (the large open room off the balcony) after worship. During this time students enjoy games, age-appropriate teaching, and small group conversation. Middle School Small Groups meet on Wednesday nights from 6:30-8 pm at The Grove. This is a great time to connect with other students and our awesome small group leaders as we continue to learn and grow together in our understanding of Jesus and how to follow him.
HIGH SCHOOL
High School Group meets on Sunday nights from 6-7:30 pm at The Grove. As students figure out what it is to know God and follow him during their high school years, we want to encourage them to work out their questions in a safe and caring environment by providing age-appropriate teaching and discussion questions. It’s always a good time of connection!
