antioch Student Ministry (6th-12th GrADE)

   


We're here to help middle and high schoolers follow Christ in a world that often rejects Him and welcome others in a world that often rejects them. We are a place where anybody can belong, and we would love for you to join us! 



SUNDAY MORNING


We want today's youth to know they are a vital part of today's church. That's why our students worship as part of the congregation during our 8:15 and 10:30 services. 


We also offer Sunday School in the Teen Center (upstairs in the older-looking church building) for our middle and high school students at 9:30 a.m. We believe that scripture can transform our lives, which is why our goal is to help students gain a love for and a familiarity with it. Each week, we'll discuss a biblical account, practice sword drills, and learn a memory verse.


This year, we will not meet on the following nights: Sept. 21 (Fall Break), Sept. 28 (Revival), Oct. 19 (Fall Festival), Nov. 23 (Thanksgiving Break), Dec. 21 (Live Nativity), Dec. 28 (Christmas Break), Jan. 4 (Christmas Break), Feb. 15 (Winter Break), April 5 (Spring Break), or May 10 (Mother's Day).



SUNDAY NIGHTS


Welcome to Thirst! Meeting from 5:30-7:15 in the Teen Center (upstairs in the older-looking church building), this youth-oriented worship service is designed to equip students to take ownership of their faith. A typical evening includes opportunities to build meaningful relationships with other students, singing, bible study, and a time to split into smaller groups to discuss faith and encourage one other. 



WEDNESDAY NIGHTS


Wanting to dig deeper into faith?  Our goal is to prepare middle and high school students to discern between the TRUTH found in scripture and the false "truths" they'll encounter in the world. We begin at 6:30 and meet in a room behind and to the left of the sanctuary (the main level of the newer, larger church building). We also offer a meal for all ages at 5:30 in the fellowship hall (the lower level of the newer, larger church building).


This year, we will not meet on the following nights: Sept. 24 (Fall Break), Oct. 1 (Revival), Oct. 19, Nov. 26 (Thanksgiving Break), Dec. 10, Dec. 17, Dec. 24 (Christmas Break), Dec. 31 (Christmas Break), Feb. 18 (Winter Break), or April 8 (Spring Break).
