WHAT IS
STUDENT MINISTRIES
Student Ministries is especially designed for 6th to 12th grade students. The goal of the Student Ministry is to introduce students to who Jesus is and teach them how to follow Him by learning what the Bible has to say about living a full life. Students are looking everywhere to find fulfillment and purpose—we know that only comes from Jesus! We want to help them get connected and begin to consider what they think about God. Along the way we hope to create environments where they can find friendship, community, and learn how God has gifted them as they begin to live out their faith with generosity and compassion.
MIDDLE SCHOOL
Epic is our large gathering for Middle Schoolers. Each weekend there are games, time to hang out with friends, and discussion about who Jesus is, why His life matters to us, and how much He loves each one of us today. Questions and challenges are encouraged! We love to hear your thoughts and listen to your story.
Saturday Night at 6:00pm & Sunday Morning at 11:15am in the Mezzanine
HIGH SCHOOL
During High School, we encourage students to attend our regular weekend services.
All high school students are invited to come out to our weekly event, IGNITE. Ignite is a large group high school gathering that exists to “make Jesus make sense.” In a Jesus-confused culture, where can you go to find real answers? Experience great discussions about the Bible, games, and hang out with friends while having conversations that can change your life! If you hear something that sparks a thought or strikes a chord, find a leader and ask questions, challenge us, debate. We love to hear your thoughts and opinions.
Wednesday Night at 7:00pm in the Mezzanine
HIGH SCHOOL LIFE GROUP
Expectations from the world are overwhelming and confusing especially when you are trying to find out who you are. We get the awesome opportunity to find out who Jesus has designed us to be and how much freedom we have in this. High School Life Group is a great way for you to really get to know other students at MEC. This small, relaxed group is designed to be a place where you can discuss real life issues that we all probably have faced.
There will be snacks and good vibes. All High schoolers welcome!
Sunday Night at 6:00-8:00pm in Medina
