Surrender First, Listen Daily, Influence Others

Welcome to the High School Student Ministry at Heritage. Our hope is to create environments where students can experience God’s unconditional love, experience true community with peers, and be discipled by parents and older adults. We are prayerfully planning events to inform and equip students, parents, and volunteers.

We hope the information on this page will direct you to a place where parents and students can begin their faith journey as a Christ-follower. Our hope is that students will surrender their lives to Christ, listen daily to the Holy Spirit, and influence others to accept the gift of God’s grace. If you have a desire to impact students for Christ, we have many volunteer opportunities in both the middle and high school ministries. The Student Ministry team is here to be a blessing to you and your family, please contact us if you have questions at anytime. If you would like to be included in a monthly email of updates and upcoming events please email your email address to Lauren Lewis or sign up at the Student Ministry Booth.

Ministries

CrossTrainers

You’ll laugh until you cry at our skits and videos, experience God in worship led by our student band, and learn how the message of Jesus connects with your life today through engaging teachings.  CrossTrainers meets Sunday mornings in room 210 at 11am .  

Life Groups

Life Groups meet at different times depending on grade and gender. High school life groups meet on various weeknights in student homes and are grade and gender specific. These times provide opportunities for students to be authentic with each other on various faith topics.

Events

Throughout the year, the high school participates in various ministry events.  Always be on the lookout for something fun and amazing that we are doing.  We love to throw giant parties or get away for a weekend retreat.  Check out the events tab or ministry booth for more information about our upcoming events. 

Volunteer Opportunities

If you would like to volunteer in the high school ministry, there are many spaces to minister to students at CrossTrainers, in LifeGroups, and at any of our events.  We love providing opportunities for people to teach and train our students.  If you are interested in being a part of what God is doing in our high school ministry, print off an application and turn it in to our team.
