Who we are

Student Ministry at our church is all about helping students Know Christ, Grow in Community, and Go with Compassion. We foster a welcoming community where middle and high school students discover what it means to follow Jesus, grow in their faith, and develop lasting relationships to help them in their discipleship journey. Each week we gather to hear from God’s word, join together in worship of Jesus, enjoy some fun games, and go deeper in our relationship with Christ and others through small group discussions.

Authentic Environment

Our group of loving and caring volunteers are here to help students navigate a life filled with hard choices and conflicting messages. Creekside Student Ministry is more than just another thing to do, it’s a group of people who genuinely care about you and want to grow with you in Christ while having a whole lot of fun along the way.

Impacting Lives

Our Middle School Ministry and High School Ministry provide an environment where students connect to community, grow, and have tons of fun. Students are also placed in small groups where students are divided according to grade and gender. In these groups students experience life change as they connect with their peers and a leader.

Relevant Teaching

We partner with parents to help raise students who love Jesus with all of their heart, mind, soul and strength. We tackle very tough topics relevant to our student’s lives, and provide Biblical teaching and solutions for those topics. By developing a Biblical world view, students can make choices to show their love of Christ in both word and behavior.

Life Change

Every student matters, and we will meet students no matter where they are in their faith journey. We partner to develop a firm faith foundation and a very personal relationship with Jesus!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Creekside Student Ministry?

Creekside Student Ministry is a place designed to meet our 6th-12th grade students right where they are. Student Ministry provides an authentic environment where  students connect with others and Jesus in a real and powerful way. This experience incorporates crazy games, high energy music, inspiring messages and small group time with leaders and peers. No matter where your students are in their faith journey, we have a place for them.

What is Sunday Morning Bible Study?

Sunday Morning Bible Study is designed to help students in 6th-12th grade grow deeper in their faith, build Christ-centered friendships, and develop a stronger understanding of God’s Word. Students begin the morning together with a brief large group gathering that includes games, announcements, and connection time before breaking into designated small group locations throughout the Student Center for Bible study and discussion.

Small groups are divided by grade and gender, creating an environment where students can build meaningful relationships, ask questions, and be encouraged by trusted leaders and peers. Our curriculum is Core 52: Student Edition, which helps students build a strong Biblical foundation and grow in their confidence in Scripture. Curriculum books are available for purchase.

Following Bible Study, students are encouraged to attend worship service at 11:00 AM or get involved by serving on one of our ministry teams including Parking, Greeting, Café, or Creekside Kids. We love helping students discover that church is not just a place to attend, but a place to belong, grow, and serve.

What is Wednesday Night Service?

Wednesday Night Service for Creekside Students is all about helping students encounter Jesus, build authentic friendships, and grow in their faith in a fun and welcoming environment. Each week is intentionally designed to create opportunities for students to connect, belong, and take their next step spiritually.

The night includes high-energy large group games, powerful worship, Biblical teaching, and a response element that encourages students to apply God’s truth to their everyday lives. Students will also spend time in small groups where they can build relationships, be encouraged by leaders, ask questions, and connect with other students their age in a meaningful way.

Whether your student has grown up in church or is coming for the very first time, Wednesday nights are a place where they can experience community, have fun, and discover more about who God created them to be. This is for all students in 6th-12th grade.

Do students have to check-in?

All students check themselves in using iPads located in the the Student Center upon arrival. If  this is your student’s first time, we’ll teach them the ropes when they arrive. After the class or event is over, students are free to leave and find their parents. There is no formal check-out process.

What is a Small Group?

Small Groups are gender and age specific groups that meet to discuss very tough topics relevant to our student’s lives, and provide Biblical teaching and solutions for those  topics. This is where deep discussion, accountability, and relationships happen. Group are led by adult sponsors who have a deep love for students and also enjoy hanging out, learning from God’s Word, and just having fun together.

How do I get my student plugged into CSM?

Should my student attend Worship Service?

The answer is a resounding YES, we want all of our students to attend weekly Worship Service. We create our CSM classes so your students can attend a Worship Service on Sunday mornings and also have time to serve on a team. Attending Worship Service is great way for your student to deepen their faith in Christ and prepare for a Christian life after high school.

Where can my student serve?

We have a variety of serving opportunities for our Middle School and High School students and invite all students to serve with us! We know Jesus calls everyone to serve and He doesn’t put an age restriction on it.

Do you baptize students?

In following Jesus’ command to be baptized, we baptize by immersion. If your student is ready to be baptized, the next step is to meet with our Student Minister to discuss what baptism is all about and to schedule this life impacting event.
