Glorifying God and Making Disciples of Jesus
South Main Students seeks to equip and send out middle and high school students who glorify God and make disciples of Jesus. We believe this is accomplished through abiding in Christ, applying God's Word, connecting with other believers, and knowing and sharing the Gospel.
Glorifying God and Making Disciples of Jesus
Wednesday's at 6:00pm
On Wednesday nights 6th-12th graders gather in the Underground space for student Midweek. Midweek includes worship through prayer, praise, Biblical teaching, and student small groups called “Discipleship Groups.” These student DGroups consist of students of the same gender and grade. Each student DGroup is led by two awesome, loving, and Bible teaching adult leaders. We would love to have you join us for Midweek!
Sunday's at 9:45am
On Sunday mornings after the 8:30am service, we have Sunday School Small Groups for 6th-8th grade (third floor of FLC) and 9th-12th grade (orange room). These groups meet from 9:45am- 10:45am and consist of a lesson and discussion from Scripture. Our students and Sunday School Small Group would love to meet you!
We want to partner with parents in the discipleship process which is why we always keep parents updated with what is happening and what is being taught in the student ministry. We are here for students and their parents!
Parent/Student Resources
At South Main we believe God has given every parent and guardian the responsibility to disciple their children. To disciple a child is to intentionally help grow him or her closer to Jesus. We want to partner with parents/guardians by teaching and challenging students with Scripture on Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings as parents/guardians do the same throughout the week at home. Below are a few resources we believe can help and equip parents/guardians as they raise and disciple their children.
