Weekend Experience
As the church, we view our role as a partnership with families to intentionally develop and grow a teenager’s relationship with Jesus. Grace Students is our ministry environments for students 6th through 12th Grade. Our weekend environments are designed to be a fun safe place where each student will experience large group teaching and small group discussion with a consistent leader.
Middle School (6th-8th Grade) meets during the 10:15 service each Sunday.
High School (9th-12th Grade) meets Sunday evenings 6:30-8:30PM.
Winter Camp is an opportunity for students to get away from their usual routine for a long weekend in the snow focused on faith and friendships! MS Winter Camp takes place in January and HS Winter Camps in February at Camp Koinonia in Cle Elum. Check out the Winter Camp 2026 videos!
Do you have a student interested in baptism? Have your student join one of our NextGen staff for our upcoming baptism class to learn about the meaning of baptism and determine if they are ready for this important step in their faith journey. Students 6th grade and older will meet in Room 205 on Sunday, March 8 at 8:45AM. Although parents are not required to attend the baptism class with their student, you are invited and encouraged to come!
Grace Students Midweek is our Wednesday evening event for Middle School and High School students. We gather to play large group games, build friendships, and grow together as we follow Jesus. This is a fun welcoming environment to invite a friend or check us out for the first time!
Midweek runs September/October through May, 6:30-8PM
Middle School Midweek (6th-8th Grade) is the third Wednesday of each month starting September 17th.
High School Midweek (9th-12th Grade) is the first Wednesday of each month starting October 1st.
*There are exception dates throughout the year for holidays and school breaks. Keep an eye on the full Events page HERE.
For the last three summers, a team of high school students from Grace had the opportunity to serve on a short-term mission trip to Orofino, Idaho. Students led a VBS at a small local church and served the community in various ways. We are thankful for another this opportunity for high school students to serve in Orofino. Check out the video from this year's trip!
