Our Focus

Three Ways We Want Every Student to Grow

The Bayou Student Ministry, for 6th through 12th grade, provides a space for students to experience the joy of worshipping, serving, learning, and growing in a gospel-centered environment.

Be a Disciple

Believe His truth. Choose His way. Reflect His heart.

Students will know God by learning what it means to walk with Jesus every day: studying Scripture, asking real questions, and choosing to live out what they believe in their schools, homes, and relationships.

Be a Friend

Notice others. Invite them in. Stand by them.

Students will find community by connecting with others who are also trying to follow Jesus. They'll learn what it means to be a real friend by showing kindness, standing up for others, and reflecting God's love in their relationships.

Be a Difference Maker

Put others first. Take action. Glorify God.

Students will learn how to make a difference by discovering their gifts and using them to serve in their church, in their schools, and in their neighborhoods. They will show the world who Jesus is through their actions.

What We Do

Three Ways We Help Students Build a Lasting Faith

Bayou Students is a ministry for students in 6th-12th grade designed to help them build a transforming relationship with God. Through worship, biblical teaching, small groups, and meaningful connections within the larger church family, students are encouraged to grow in their faith and make it their own.

  • Worship & Teaching - Student Sunday Nights feature engaging worship and relevant biblical teaching that speaks directly to the challenges and opportunities students face every day.
  • Small Groups - Every student is connected to an age-appropriate small group where they can build authentic friendships, ask honest questions, and grow alongside trusted leaders and peers.
  • Church Engagement - We encourage students to worship, serve, and participate in the life of the church on Sunday mornings, helping them develop a faith that lasts beyond their teenage years.

Opportunities for Students to Grow in Faith

Summer Camps

Summer is one of our favorite times of the year! And what's a better way to spend summer than by going to camp? We offer camps for both middle school and high school students each June.

Students have the opportunity to leave the comfort of their homes and get away from distractions so they can connect more with others and grow in their relationship with Christ. Check out our Events page each spring for more details and to sign up!
