STUDENTS
Shepherd’s Student Ministry is a place where students can belong, grow in their faith, and learn to lead others. Our goal is to creatively equip the next generation to know God, find community, and change the world.

We offer an adaptive class for special-needs students called “Mosaic.” In addition, our Sports Ministry offers several special-needs opportunities throughout the year for students through age 13.
Sunday Nights
5:00 pm
(Seasonal, Mid-August–May)
Sunday Nights are the best nights of the week, and Sunday Nights in SSM are the premiere weekly gatherings for students in our area. With a goal to apply Scripture, build community, and reach new students. A typical Sunday night includes small groups, activities, and snacks from 5:00-6:45 pm here at the church. Once a month, we have an “Invite Night” where students can bring their friends to worship together, hear a gospel message, play organized games, and enjoy a meal.

annual events
Rising 6th Graders
Level Up is an orientation event held in August for rising 6th grade students and their parents to get to know our Student Ministry staff and see just how much fun they’re going to have!
Dinner is provided and there are fun games and activities for kids to enjoy, while the parents learn more about Student Ministry and their commitment to helping students to know God, find community, and change the world.
Grades 6-12
Every winter/early spring, our high school and middle school students take a break from the busyness of life for a weekend of fun with friends and encouragement from the Word.
Grades 6-12
Every summer, our middle and high school students have their own week of camp. Strategically scheduled at the end of the summer, it’s the perfect opportunity for students to be inspired, encouraged, and equipped to start the school year strong for Jesus.
