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

(Seasonal, Sept.–May)
Sunday nights in SSM will be a little more informal. They’ll include an abbreviated teaching time led by our Student Ministry staff followed by a time for fun activites, snacks and hanging out. We meet from 5-6:30 pm in the Student Center.
WEDNESDAY NIGHTS
6:30-8:00 PM
Wednesday nights in SSM will include a time for students to have deeper discussion about the Sunday morning lesson in a more relaxed setting. Students will be split by grade and gender and placed in small groups. Middle school will meet on campus and high school will meet in homes throughout our area.

annual events
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. Registration has now closed for our 2021 camp.
Grades 9-12
Every winter, our middle and high school students take a break from the busyness of life for a wintery weekend of fun with friends and encouragement from the Word.
Grades 9-12
Every fall, our high school girls and guys each have their own weekend retreat at the beach! It’s a time for them to get away and refocus their eyes on Jesus.
NEXT
NEXT is a weekend of dynamic preaching, practical workshops, and fun activities for students and their parents right here in Cary, NC. It’s a conference designed to better equip the next generation of servant leaders.
Rising 6th Graders
Level Up is a weekend orientation at New Life Camp (Raleigh) for rising 6th grade students. This event takes place each May and allows students (and parents) to get to know our staff and see just how much fun they’re going to have!
