Student Ministries
A great story engages you, grasps your heart and attention, dares you dream deeper. What’s your story? We believe that Jesus broke into our world to engage and teach us how to live a story full of beauty and wonder, hope and freedom, power and life. That in Jesus we find a story worth living for.
We have tons of ways for you get connected here at Vineyard Student Ministries. Each of our weekend services our Jr. Higher join together to connect, worship, and engage with God. Every Wednesday night we have the Burn, where our Sr. Highers have a oodles of time to share life, worship and encourage one another.
We also have events throughout the year for opportunities to connect with God and with one another.
The Burn (Sr. High)
Wednesdays at 7 pm for students in Grades 9-12
We want to help our Sr. high students get connected to Jesus in real practical ways that will help them flourish in every every of life — students becoming students of Jesus. We believe that life isn’t meant to be lived alone and that we can learn what it’s like to follow Jesus together. Every Wednesday, we talk about real life issues that impact students and take a look at what God has to say about it all. We always spend time worshiping, praying for one another, and opening ourselves up to hear from God.
For more information contact Michael Gatlin.
The Well (Jr. High)
During Weekend Services –
Saturdays at 6pm & Sundays at 9 & 11am for students in Grades 6-8
We love introducing our Jr. High students to what health relationship with God looks like and how to have healthy relationships with one another.
At each of our Weekend Services our students will participate in small groups, fun games, and hear some teaching that will allow them the opportunity develop these relationships and have lots of fun. Come join us!
