Student Ministry

Southwest Students exists to help middle and high school students grow in their relationship with Jesus through biblical teaching, authentic friendships, worship, and opportunities to serve. We believe these years are foundational to developing a lifelong faith, and we want every student to know they belong, are valued, have a voice, and have a place to serve.

Our desire is to come alongside students and families. helping students know Jesus, discover their God-given purpose, grow in their faith, and live it out every day at home, at school, and wherever life takes them.

Students gather after worship for meaningful biblical discussions and engaging activities designed to encourage spiritual growth, deepen their relationships with Christ, and build lasting friendships. Our goals is to create a space where students can grow in their faith, ask questions, connect with one another, and discover what it means to follow Jesus in everyday life.

Wednesday evenings are a time for students to worship, grow, connect, and have fun together. Each gathering includes worship, biblical teaching, small-group discussions, service opportunities, games, and a shared meal. Our goal is to create an environment where students can deepen their relationship with Christ, build meaningful friendships, and experience authentic Christian community as we break bread and grow together.

Engage Sunday gives our students an opportunity to serve, connect, and actively engage in the life of our church community. On Engage Sunday, students remain in the large gathering for worship and service, volunteer in Children's Church, or serve in other areas throughout the church. Our goal is to help students understand that they are not just the church of tomorrow, they are an important part of the church today. We conclude Engage Sunday with a group outing. Whether it's bowling, a pool party, lunch, or another fun activity, this time gives students an opportunity to build friendships, strengthen community, and simply enjoy being together. Engage Sunday is about three things: Worship. Serve. Connect.

Whether attending for the first time or returning each week, every student is welcomed into a safe, encouraging community where they can ask questions, build friendships, and discover God's purpose for their lives.
