Helping Students Know Christ, Grow in Faith, and Live on Mission

Middle school and high school can be some of the most exciting—and challenging—years of life. At CrossStudents, our goal is to partner with parents in helping students develop a genuine, lasting relationship with Jesus Christ.

Every week, students experience deep biblical teaching, authentic friendships, engaging games, meaningful worship, and small-group discussions that encourage them to ask questions, grow in their faith, and live it out every day.

Whether your student has grown up in church or is walking through our doors for the very first time, they'll find a place where they are welcomed, valued, and challenged to follow Christ.

What We Believe

At CrossStudents, we believe teenagers are capable of understanding deep biblical truth. Our goal is to help students build a faith that lasts beyond high school by teaching Scripture faithfully, encouraging honest questions, and equipping them to follow Christ with confidence.

Everything we teach is rooted in God's Word. Our desire isn't simply to entertain students—we want to equip them to know what they believe, why they believe it, and how to live faithfully in today's culture.

Students are encouraged to:

  • Build a personal relationship with Jesus
  • Study and understand Scripture
  • Develop deep meaningful friendships
  • Serve others with their God given gifts
  • Share the hope of the Gospel of Jesus
  • Grow into lifelong disciples of Christ

Parents Matter

We believe parents are the primary spiritual influence in a student's life. Our ministry exists to support and encourage families as they disciple their children. We strive to maintain a safe, welcoming environment where students are known, cared for, and challenged to grow in their faith.

Whether you're visiting for the first time or searching for a church home, we'd love to welcome you to CrossStudents.

Come a few minutes early and we'll introduce you to our student leader Nate Taylor and help your family get connected.
