Student Central

Connecting students to a life that counts for eternity by building disciples who go and change lives.

How do we do this?

1. Every student is in a LifeGroup with adults who care about their lives and their faith.

2. We strive to be creative and energetic in everything we do. We want students to WANT to be here.

3. Student ownership. We strive to get students involved in all aspects of our ministry.

Register for Student Central

We ask all students participating in Student Central to register.

Why?

1) Registering for Student Central is basically the coolest thing ever.
2) It helps us make sure we have the right contact info for updates and/or emergencies.
3) It helps us know if students already have friends in a LifeGroup they can join.

Now that you know why, click the big orange button below and get signed up for this fall!

Tech Team

Are you interested in tech? We’re talking cameras, switchboards, audio, lighting…all of the stuff that keeps a night of Student Central running smoothly.

We’re always looking for volunteers, so drop us a line if you’re ready to offer your time and talents to our Student Central Tech Team.

Worship Team

Do you love to sing? More importantly, are you interested in leading others as they sing each week during our praise and worship time?

What about playing an instrument? Can you tear it up on guitar, pound on the drums, or do whatever it is bassoon players call it when they’re bassooning?

If so, our Worship Team may be calling your name. Hit us up to see how you can get involved.

Let’s do some music!

Student Leaders

We have both Middle and High School student leadership teams. These groups of students meet on a monthly basis, helping to shape our ministry. Students are also challenged to go deeper in their walks with Jesus, growing in their leadership at Central and in their lives.

If you’re interested, contact Adam Barrett about being on this team.

I’m in!

LifeGroup Leading & Volunteering

Adult LifeGroup leaders are the heartbeat of our ministry. They’re more than just bodies in a room–they’re men and women who are called to disciple students and desire to make a lasting impact on their lives.

Check out the video to see why leading a LifeGroup might be the greatest decision you’ll ever make in your time on Planet Earth. (Next to following Jesus, of course.)

We also offer other opportunities for adults to serve in Student Central. We’re looking for adults who enjoy being greeters, who are willing to serve food and drinks in our cafe, or love hanging out with adorable little kids for a few hours to provide childcare for LifeGroup leaders on Wednesday nights.

If you’re interested in volunteering as a LifeGroup leader or in other areas, just email Adam Barrett.
