For the Parents

How do I get my student involved in StudentLife?

Bring them to StudentLife on Sunday Nights. Sunday nights are the best time to connect with other students their same gender and grade. If they don’t know anyone, Sunday nights are the best opportunity to change that! Our team would love to help introduce them to their journey group leaders as well as other students their age.

What are your key events throughout the year?

We do Middle School Camp and High School Camp every summer. Winter Camp happens in February and we do a Mexico Missions Trip every Fall. Be sure to check out our upcoming events to sign-up for those opportunities.

What does the StudentLife staff look like?

Sarah Wedel is our full-time StudentLife pastor. We have an open door policy. Have questions or concerns about your student? Looking for some spiritual resources? Just want to chat? Call the church office. We would love to meet with you over coffee. We also have a volunteer coaching team that lead our journey groups on Sunday nights. They are background checked and vetted to insure that they are the best people to be leading your students relationally and spiritually. Finally, we have interns throughout the year that invest in our students and serve StudentLife.
