weekly gatherings

come join the fun!

Grace Students exists to help your kids meet, know, and follow Jesus! We believe all kids matter to God! 

We hold weekly gatherings designed just for middle school and high school students to connect, grow, and have fun in a safe and welcoming environment. We meet every Thursday from 6:30–8:00pm, with doors opening at 6:15pm and pickup beginning promptly at 8:00pm. 

Students can expect engaging worship, relevant teaching, meaningful small-group conversations, and plenty of opportunities to build friendships. 

Friends are always welcome!

If you have any questions or would like to be added to Parent email distribution, email Jacob, our Next Generation Pastor, at jacob@graceriver.cc.

This is a 5-day experience where our 6th-12th Grade Students will encounter life-changing messages, dynamic worship, activities with friends, and an environment where friendships and unforgettable memories are made. 

Friends are always welcome!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The best time for you to arrive will be when our doors open at 6:15pm. The pre-party will start at 6:30pm; we want to ensure your student gets checked in before we begin. Pickup begins at 8:00pm.

Once you drop off your student at the check-in station, we will connect them with one of our trained volunteers. Our volunteer will walk your student through check-in, introduce them to other students their age, and hang out with them during service. Grace River Students includes plenty of time to eat snacks and hang out with friends, a game, a message, and small groups once a month.

You can drop off your student, but you’re welcome to come inside and meet the team before your student comes into service.

Yes! While we have one place for students to gather, we craft the ministry to have unique experiences for students in 6th-12th grade. Each student will be with a small group of their grade and gender.

We believe every student needs a relationship and a responsibility. While we do not meet on Sundays as a ministry, we highly encourage our students to find a place to serve on Sunday mornings.

This gives them the opportunity to use the gifts God has given them right now. We believe they are not only the next generation, but the NOW generation.
