INVESTING AND INVITING STUDENTS
IN 6TH THROUGH 12TH GRADES
INTO A GROWING RELATIONSHIP
WITH JESUS.
Gateway Students exists to impact Middle and High School students for Jesus Christ. Through small group activities and discussions, students are able to experience the teachings of Jesus as it relates to their stage of life and the challenges and opportunities that Middle and High School present. Our safe and exciting environment allows students the opportunity to express themselves, ask questions, and grow spiritually in gender and age specific groups
The safety of your children is our first priority! Each volunteer that serves in our ministry has passed an extensive background check and is carefully trained in their specific area of service.
WEDNESDAY NIGHTS
Gateway Students meet every Wednesday evening. From 5:45 to 6:30, students can play games, hang out, and enjoy great concessions like meatball subs or nachos before heading into the main event!
From the moment they step into the auditorium, the entire service is planned with teenagers in mind. The music is bumpin’ and the games are so much fun. Students get to participate in a time of singing led by their peers and they’ll hear a message that brings the Bible to life in a way they can connect with.
After the service ends, it’s on to Small Groups. Small Groups are grade- and gender-specific groups led by volunteers. In Small Groups, Students are encouraged to think more deeply about that week’s message, apply the message to their lives, and encourage their friends.
SUNDAY MORNINGS
At Gateway, we believe that faith needs to be put into action, so we emphasize service from a young age. On Sunday mornings, you’ll find our Students serving alongside their families in our main services and Gateway Kidz.
When they’re not serving, Students are encouraged to participate in the service alongside their families because studies show that students who experience multi-generational worship are more likely to take their faith into adulthood.
SUMMER CAMP
Each Summer, Gateway Students head off to camp for a week of fun, games, and a lot of time spent with Jesus. Our Students come home equipped and energized to take their faith to the next level as they go back into their schools and families. Scholarship opportunities are available.
