For the Parents

How do I get my student involved in McDowell Students?

Bring them to McDowell Students 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. Be sure to check out our upcoming events to sign-up for those opportunities.

Tell me about the McDowell Student staff.

Sarah Wedel is our full-time Students 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 leads our Journey Groups on Sunday nights. They are background-checked and vetted to ensure that they are the best people to lead your students relationally and spiritually. Finally, we have interns throughout the year who invest in our students and serve McDowell Students.
