Learn about Student Ministry
Our student ministry at WG supports Middle School and High School students in their faith journeys. Each Sunday and Wednesday, we meet for fellowship and teaching from God’s Word, and we also seek to partner with parents to help disciple their students toward gospel maturity. We offer many opportunities for students to develop relationships, use their spiritual gifts, and grow in their faith through retreats, service projects, group events, and mission trips.
MIDDLE SCHOOL
The middle school years can be tough. Friends. Activities. Juggling schedules. These years are also very important years of growth. God cares about middle school students...and so do we. Our Middle School ministry is geared toward connecting students with Christ and with each other, helping them own their faith and their identity in God's church.
- Sunday Kids-5th, 6th, 7th, & 8th graders: From 9:30am-10:20am each week, enthusiastic leaders lead our students as they dig into God’s Word through activities, video, and large and small group discussions.
- Faith 101-Confirmation Ministry: On Wednesdays, we provide a time of instruction for middle school students, so that in the fall of their 9th-grade year, they’re prepared to “confirm”, (that is, “say again”) what God said about them at their baptisms—that they’re members of His family! Faith 101 is meant to be fun, formative, and full of opportunities for students to grow--
HIGH SCHOOL MINISTRY
High School is a defining part of a person’s life. Students begin to really settle into their beliefs about the world, God, their purpose, etc. During this influential time, we want students to remember that God has chosen them. Our faith is planted when we are baptized. From that point on, our Gardener (God) is growing our faith as we are rooted in Him. We are constantly being nourished and pruned to grow and produce fruit. If you want to get plugged into High School Ministry or just have some questions, contact Greg High, our Student Ministry Coordinator.
- Sundays-Salt & Light: Join us at the YaCC (Youth and Community Center) on Sunday mornings from 9:30 am-10:20 am as we look at Scripture and application through both small and large group discussions. We desire to engage students into the life of the church and the mission of God during high school and throughout their lives.

Sunday Nights, 6:30 pm in the YaCC: Something important is taking shape in our high school ministry! Students and leaders have been meeting to discuss launching a new weekly gathering for high school students on Sunday nights. The focus will be that participants know that:
- You can be authentic and have fun here
- You matter and are a valued member of the group
- God wants to strengthen your life today with His grace and guidance
Led by those values, we're excited to build a community around these evenings, launching Sunday, Sept 13 at the YaCC, 6:30 pm, with food, teaching, games, and time to connect. If you'd like more info or to find a way to serve students, contact Greg High ( ) or Pastor King ( )
