High School (9th-12th Grade)
Sunday Mornings | 9:45-10:45am | Student Center
Student Ministry at Gloria Dei seeks to bring joy, empowerment, and encouragement to students so they can be sent as Kingdom missionaries into their schools.
High School Students
High school students meet in the Chat Room to grow deeper in their walk with Jesus on Sunday mornings. As we start out the new school year, we are diving into a new topic - Christian sexuality. Starting on September 19th, and for the next 9 weeks, we will be taking a look at what God's desire for sex, gender, and identity means for each of us. Check out the trailer below. If you have any questions, please email Ross Owens.

High School Parents
While students are meeting with their peers and small group leaders, we will have a concurrent Bible study option for parents of high school students. Parents will meet to learn much of the same information that their students are learning while also having the opportunity to encourage one another in faith and their walk as leaders in their homes. Parents will meet in Student Center Room 198. For more information please email Ross Owens.
Sunday Nights | 5-7pm
1st & 3rd Sundays
Students in 6th-12th Grade are invited to join us on the 1st and 3rd Sundays for Bible study, activities, and dinner. This is a great opportunity to meet up with your friends, serve in fun ways, and dive into conversations about what God says about different topics. Parents and leaders, we would love to have you serve on a Sunday night! One of those ways is by providing a meal. Our students love the chance to try something new, and a home cooked meal is the perfect way to enjoy each other's company!
2nd Sunday Driveway Discipleship
Want to dive deeper in your walk with Jesus and form some more intense relationships with the high school community at church? Join us for Driveway Discipleship on the 2nd Tuesday of each month for a fun game, a short teaching time on Jesus' call to us as disciples, and a student led conversation in groups of 2-3!
Here's what you will experience in each discipleship group:
- Accountability (Matthew 18:15-16; Galatians 6:1-5)
- Encouragement (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10; 1 Thessalonians 5:11)
- Prayer (1 Thessalonians 5:17; James 5:16)
We are meeting at Ross's house to start the year. Email Ross for the address. Parents interested in serving as a host for a night, and students with ideas for Bible studies should email Ross.
