Students (6th-12th grade)

Student ministry is a vital part of the life and mission of Village Church. We believe the next generation matters to God, and we’re committed to walking with students as they grow in Christ, build friendships, and engage in the broader life of the church.

Our desire is to partner with families in the discipleship of their children, equipping both parents and teens to pursue Christ together in everyday life. 

In light of that, here’s a peek at what’s ahead this semester — and an important save the date for summer 2026!
