Students
InSight Student Ministry exists to invite students to experience a new kind of life in God’s Kingdom. We accomplish this by reaching out to the community, building trusting relationships with students and helping disciple them to honor God and serve others in love. Our goal, in such a chaotic and confusing time, is to help minimize the transition from Children’s to Student Ministries. We do this by creating an overlap in ministry.

Student Ministries - 6-8th Grade
Middle School is a confusing time in the life of both students and parents. It also is a time of separation and ownership of belief systems. We exist to invite students to bring their questions of God, Church, and life and to help them make sense of it all.
If you have a student in this age or if you have a desire to help make a lasting impact in the lives of students, let us know!
Student Ministries
BLEND: Sunday morning class especially for students in 6th through 8th grade meets at both 9 & 11 am services.
The Thing: The Thing is our middle school program where there are games, worship, and small group time. Each Sunday night at The THING students are placed in a Huddle team (small group) for the experience of being known and knowing others. Huddles are unique opportunities for students to build into community. We meet on Sunday nights from 6pm-8pm.
Retreats: Winter and Summer retreats captivate students and are catalysts of life change in students. Something significant happens when students get away from their normal surroundings and open their hearts to the Lord!
Missions: Giving your life away to this world for the sake of sharing the Gospel is the highest calling of all believers. Insight Missions challenge students to live this out practically.
Other Typical Events

SpecialOps: Sunday morning classes offered periodically throughout the year at 11 am designed to help High School students understand and think more deeply about their faith.
Retreats: Throughout the year, special retreats are places of refreshment and renewal. Students get away and are refreshed for their life with Christ. Retreats are special places where God meets students in unique ways.

Service: Student servanthood is a great way to see your faith grow. With opportunities on the worship team, tech team, and drama team, we are seeking to be a ministry of students rather than to students.
