STUDENT MINISTRIES

WHAT TO EXPECT

SUNDAYS

Sunday Mornings | 10am and 11am

Every Sunday, we hope that our students would be contributors in their community, not just consumers. Grace Bible Church hosts 2 services, a 9 am and 11am.  Our heart is that students would chose to serve in children's ministry during our 11 am service. If there are students that want to sit in main service, our Junior High and High School leaders will attend the 11 am and create space for any students to sit with them in our "students section".

Thrive Groups are our initiative to provide a space for fellowship, discipleship and personal growth on Sunday Mornings. Dig deeper and go beyond what is offered on Sunday mornings. Connect and share with your community and learn how to make the Church your home. Join us in the Student Center.
On Wednesday nights, all 7th-12th grade students are invited to join us!

Doors will open at 7pm for an amazing worship experience. We will then have teaching and group discussion time afterwards.

As students enter the Worship Center, we have everyone check-in so that we have emergency contact information. If your student is new with us, please fill out our New Family Information Form.

Our summer theme, Puzzled is a look into the church as a whole. We believe the Church is the bridegroom of Christ, and we want to teach students how to make the church their own. over the course of the summer, we will be talking about the importance of serving in the local church and supporting the global church.  Our goal is that students who go through the summer series will leave feeling a need to stay connected to their church, and believe more deeply in the mission of the Gospel expressed through the context of the local Church. We want them to understand the church and how they fit in it.
New to Grace Bible Church? We’re glad you’re here! And ... we can't wait to get to know you and your student! Please reach out if you have any questions!

If your student is visiting for the first time on a Sunday ... we would love for them to join us in the student center. Stop by the Welcome Table in the lobby and a staff member will introduce you to someone on the students team.

If your student is visiting for the first time on a Wednesday ... feel free to show up a little early so that we can meet you and them! You will want to park/drop off at the courtyard (next to the gym). On Wednesday evenings all students check-in as they enter the Worship Center at 7pm. We encourage you to fill out our New Family Information Form prior to dropping your student off. Then they can simply enter either their phone number or yours as they enter!  If you have not filled out the New Family Information Form, no worries! Your student will skip the line and talk with someone from our Student Ministries team (just outside of the Worship Center doors) ... providing emergency contact information. Following youth group someone from our Student Ministries team will reach out to both you and your student.

App Calendar

seventh grade

The phase when nothing you do is cool, what they feel right now matters most, and one suddenly social kid wants to know, “Who’s going?”

eighth grade

The phase when it’s cool to have choices, it’s not cool to answer questions, and one smart kid will remind you, “Yeah…I know.”

ninth grade

The phase when friendships shift, grades count, and interests change so often your teenager has to explain, “This is me now.”

tenth grade

The phase when everybody else can…nobody else has to…and your resolute teen will push you to answer, “Why not?”

eleventh grade

The phase when there’s less drama, more stress, and your very busy teenage answers all your questions with, “Just trust me.”

twelfth grade

The phase when your emerging adult pulls away, gets closer, does things for the last time, and you both start asking, “What’s next?”
