STUDENTS

Student ministry is comprised of two stages of family ministry for Middle School and High School students. These years in a person’s life are unique and key in developing and owning a personal faith in Jesus Christ. These are phases where we want to align with the household to encourage, teach, lead and love students through milestones and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. We do this through connecting, growing and serving with students.





MIDDLE SCHOOLERS

We believe middle school is the perfect time for students to live their faith. Whether they’ve just been introduced to the person of Jesus Christ during a crazy Nerf War No School Next Day or they’re already serving consistently on the GO Team, we are there every step along the way. We do this by Connecting, Growing and Serving.

Connect
  • No School Next Days
    Strategic events for middle school students who have no church affiliation/relationship with Christ. An outreach in partnership with Wyldlife (a branch of Young Life).

Grow
  • MSM (Middle School Ministries)
    A small group-centered environment held at church every Sunday morning. The goal is to create a safe space for middle school students to grow in their faith and in their relationship with Jesus, leaders, and peers.
Serve

 

  • GO Team
    A team acknowledging middle school students who consistently serve. This provides an opportunity to identify, celebrate, encourage, and mentor student leaders at Crossroads.
Middle School Trips and Retreats
  • School Year: Weekend Retreat. A generally Friday through Sunday weekend retreat to reorient students towards Jesus.
  • Summer: Summer Camp
    Middle school-specific week spent at camp. Generally leave on a Monday morning and return on a Friday.




HIGH SCHOOLERS

We encourage our high-schoolers to own their faith in Jesus through learning, leading, and serving. We are passionate about guiding students to become a leader like Jesus in every environment they are in for life. We do this intentionally through our model of Connect, Grow and Serve
