COVID-19 UPDATE: During this time, the Student Ministry is meeting for Bible study outside at the church from 4:00-5:15 P.M. on Sunday afternoon. We are adhering to all of the safety regulations that OGC has outlined for the Sunday morning gatherings. If you have any questions, please feel free to email Skyler (skyler@orlandograce.org). 

 

Grace Students 

Grace Students is for 6th-12th grade students to grow in Christ through God’s word and forming authentic community, while preparing them to be sent into the schools of Orlando and for life after high school. 

Weekly Meetings

We meet weekly as an opportunity for students in Orlando to gather together to worship God and learn more about him through scripture.  We meet from 5:00 P.M. to 6:30 P.M. every Sunday night during the fall and spring school semesters.  Each night we enjoy a game, worship, a sermon, and small group discussions led by our student leaders. On the second Sunday of the month, we enjoy a meal together.
We also meet on Sunday mornings for our equipping hour class starting at 9:30 A.M. It is geared towards equipping students to flourish through word centered study in an intimate setting. This is a great time for growing together relationally and spiritually.
Personal Relationships and Guidance 

The heart of our ministry is seeing students grow in their relationship with Christ through personal relationships with their parents, fellow students, elders, and staff at Orlando Grace Church. In light of this, an essential component of our ministry is parents partnering with and knowing those working with their kids, so please reach out to the Director of Student Ministry to meet with them. It is our hope that students and parents will be heard, encouraged, advised, and equipped through the Student Ministry. 

Retreats 

Retreats are valuable opportunities for our students to get outside of their normal context and unplugging from electronics to have concentrated times of worship and Bible study. Keep an eye out for these opportunities as they arrive throughout the year! 

Events

Throughout the year, we try to have an event each month geared towards building friendship and community. These may be anything from service and worship oriented activities to fun stuff like games, swimming, sports, dinners, desserts, etc. Our monthly events will often be planned a couple of months in advance, so please refer to the bulletin, newsletter, or contact me for more information and announcements.
