StudentLife is a community of 6th through 12th grade students who gather weekly at McDowell for this purpose…to know the love of Jesus and experience the relevance of faith in daily life.

StudentLife Gatherings

9:15 am – Students sit together in main service.

10:45 am – Middle School & High School meet in the StudentLife Room for Discipleship Tracks.

Sunday Evening

How We Gather

gatherings

Sunday Mornings

Sunday mornings are designed to help students dig deeper into the Bible, as well as give them a place to learn from each other and form authentic relationships. On Sunday mornings students join us in the main service and sit together during the 9:15 service. During the 10:45 service, both middle and high school students meet in the StudentLife room.

Every week we create a high energy atmosphere and develop students with relevant teachings crafted to guide them through the challenges of their everyday lives. Through interactive games, worship, and peer & mentor connections, we believe students will have fun, encounter God, and feel welcomed.

Sunday Nights

Sunday Nights are something that we don’t want students to miss out on! We gather from 6:00-7:30 pm in the StudentLife Room. The night features hangout times, games, worship, and teaching. We will conclude Sunday nights with Life Groups which is a gathering of a small group of students of the same grade and gender. This is an awesome opportunity to form authentic community and meaningful relationships as students learn to own their faith together

Student Leadership Team

Students may choose to take their faith a step further by serving on our Student Leadership Team. Our mission and purpose are based off of Micah 6:8, which states, “Act justly, love mercy, walk humbly with Your God.” These guiding principles are the voice of StudentLife, which steers events, serves in our ministry and dreams up unique and relevant ways for students to encounter Christ.

Applications to join our Student Leadership Team take place each year in July. Students on the team meet on the first Sunday of each month from August – May to fulfill the school year commitment.

Coach

The hope and prayer of StudentLife is that our students have the opportunity to encounter the life changing power of Jesus in everything we do. We are striving to be relevant in our teaching, real in our conversations, and equip students with the knowledge and understanding of Jesus Christ and his grace, mercy and love.
An important part of helping students grow in their faith is having trustworthy adults who lead an example of discipleship to Jesus, that have a heart for getting students connected and building relationships. We have amazing volunteers that serve as Sunday morning mentors and Life Group leaders.

If you are interested in serving as a Sunday Morning Mentor and/or a Life Group Leader, please email Sarah.
