SOUTHERN HILLS STUDENTS
We believe that building true reflections of God’s amazing love starts with creating a safe and welcoming environment for our students. Our dedicated staff and volunteers work hard to ensure our students feel valued, heard, and supported. We understand that middle and high school can be challenging, and we want to provide a space where our students can feel free to ask questions, express their doubts, and explore their faith without fear of judgment. We partner with parents to raise tweens, and teens, to create safe spaces where students can grow, be transformed by Jesus, engage in meaningful faith-forming relationships, serve as change-agents in their communities, and develop into spiritual leaders.

Sunday Evenings
4:00 pm – 6:00 pm | Youth Group
The Youth Room is located at Entrance 5 (gym). Sunday nights are about fun and fellowship. We meet in the youth room from 4-6 PM every Sunday night. The emphasis here is on building relationships with other believers, making friends, and getting to know God. This is the ideal time to bring friends who may not be believers or introducing new people to the church. We strive to make sure that everyone feels welcomed into our community..

Grow/Serve

- Our youth participate in mission trips, and retreats throughout the year, giving their time and talents and growing through the experience. They regularly serve our children’s ministry during seasonal events and VBS/Shepards Camp.
- Youth are encouraged to explore service areas that excite them, many have started their own ministries to help folks here at Southern Hills and in the community.
