Making gospel-centered disciples who worship God, gather together, give generously, and multiply.

What We Do

We’ve created a space where middle and high school students find belonging rooted in the gospel through student small groups, biblical worship and teaching, and catalytic experiences.

MDWK

Every Wednesday night of the school year, students gather for MDWK. During MDWK, middle and high school students meet for a time of worship, biblical teaching, and engaging student small groups. 

Student Camp

Life change happens at student camp. Each year, we invite middle and high school students to unplug for a week while seeking the Lord with other students. Save the date for 2025 Student Camp.

Student Groups

Student Groups are a biblical community for middle and high school students. We work to make disciples by helping students encounter Christ through his Word. They take place every Sunday at 9:15 AM.

About Student Ministry

For grades 6-12, there’s a place for you in the Student Ministry at Christ Community. We have four key focuses that we believe are essential to help students become more like Christ.

Family Ministry

Our desire is to partner with each family as they disciple their children, recognizing parents as the primary disciple-makers in the home. We hope to see students engaged in Sunday services and serving opportunities.

Significant Adult Relationships

Students that have multiple adult mentors in their life are three times more likely to stay engaged in church after graduation. We want to have godly leaders spending time with our students on a weekly basis.

Challenging Spiritual Experiences

We work to help our students discover the boldness it takes to live for Christ. Our desire is to prepare them, by God’s grace, to make their faith their own by challenging them to go to camps, mission trips, and sharing Jesus with their friends.

Building Spiritual Habits

Cultivating spiritual habits is a vital part of the Christian life. At Christ Community, our student ministry strives to help students develop habits like Bible reading, prayer, evangelism, service, and intentional involvement in the local church.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are middle school and high school students separated?

On Sunday mornings our middle schoolers and high schoolers both gather in our sanctuary for an intentional time of Bible study. Students are put in age and gender-specific groups, where they are intentionally poured into by our amazing leaders!

During our Wednesday night MDWK ministries, our middle school and high school students spend time in their environments where they can be themselves and engage in age-specific worship and teaching.

What is the difference between a Wednesday evening and Sunday morning?
On Sunday mornings, students sit in small groups based on age and gender to study the bible together. This is an amazing time when students are poured into by our adult leaders and where they can grow in their relationship with God as they grow closer together through intentional community. 
Wednesday nights look and feel differently than our Sunday morning time. During MDWK, we kick things off with an exciting game, then transition to an intentional time of worship and teaching. MDWK is an awesome night for students to invite friends and connect with God in the middle of their week
Is there a difference between student ministry on different campuses?
We are one church in two locations, and because of that, our students learn the same things. While students may meet on different days of the week to study God’s Word depending on their campus, students of both campuses are encouraged to be a part of MDWK in Huntersville where they can worship together and engage in age-specific teaching.  
How do you prioritize the safety of students?

We understand that God has entrusted us with your students safety while they are in our care. Every time we gather together as a student ministry, we create environments that are well-supervised by adult volunteers. Each adult volunteer walks through a thorough safety screening that includes an application, in-person interview, background check, policy training, and completion of an accredited sexual abuse awareness training. If you have any additional questions regarding the practices or policies surrounding students’ safety, please reach out to our student team.

How do I get more information regarding student ministry?

There are multiple ways to stay up to date with everything regarding Christ Community Students. We send out parent emails each week filled with relevant information regarding student gatherings and events. You can also follow us on Instagram @christcommunity_students!

What if I have another question?

Our team is happy to connect with you and/or your student any time! If you have any additional questions regarding student ministry events, campus-specific questions, child safety, or anything else, please reach out to our student team.
