Student Ministry at West Conroe

Looking for a place where your teenager can plug in? Our student ministry meets weekly and is packed with food, fun, and, most importantly, engaging Bible studies that meets teens where they are.

Student ministry encompasses students in 7th-12th grade (and on Sundays they meet as Jr. High and High School groups). We aim to come alongside parents to help see students meet Jesus and grow in their maturity with him.

What to Expect

A generation of fully devoted followers of Christ

Here are a few weekly rhythms our team does to invest in students:

  1. Biblical teaching on Sundays and Wednesdays.
  2. We pray specifically for your student every week.
  3. Your student is contacted weekly by our leadership.
  4. Our leaders are building relationships with your student.

Students can expect to find community, friends, and encouragement to take the next step in their faith each week as we lead the next generation to be fully devoted followers of Christ.
