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.

High School (9th-12th Grade) meets Sunday evenings 6:30-8:30PM.

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, December 14 at 11:45AM. Although parents are not required to attend the baptism class with their student, you are invited and encouraged to come!

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!
