Crossroads 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. Click for more information on specific opportunities for middle school and high school students at Crossroads

Middle School

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
  • House Parties

    A leader-led environment for students to invite their friends who aren’t affiliated with church or Jesus to a casual event at homes throughout the area of their campus.  Gospel-focused and relationship-centric.

  • 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
  • C3 Sundays
    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
  • Do Something Saturdays
    Consistent opportunities for students to serve. Create places for families to serve together in our community.
  • 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.

High School

We encourage our high-schoolers to live fully alive in Christ Jesus! We spend time in prayer to find creative ways to engage their interests to coach high schoolers to maintain healthy relationships. Staff and leaders are fueling your teenager’s passion and mobilizing their God-given potential by challenging them to serve their community and each other. While in the Middle School ministry we focus on helping students live their faith, in High School ministry, we encourage students to Lead the Way. We do this by continuing our ConnectGrow and Serve model:

Connect
  • Get Togethers
    Specific outreach events in partnership with like-minded churches and parachurch organizations. Black Light Dodgeball, Mudbowl, Bubble Soccer, etc.
Grow
