HIGHLANDS STUDENTS

WELCOME TO HIGHLANDS STUDENTS!
In Highlands Students our goal is to provide an opportunity for students to have fun, worship God, hear bold content that speaks to their phase of life, and be discipled by adults who care about them, believe in them and help them navigate the ups and downs of life.
HOW CAN MY STUDENT CONNECT AT HIGHLANDS?
Highlands Students offer different types of events to help your student connect with other teens!
Keep scrolling to see a list of event dates and times.
-
Summit is our monthly service for all middle school and high school students! This is our BIG outreach event where we study God’s word and worship together. We always end the evening with a fun activity, dinner and a sweet treat!
-
Student Night provides opportunities to better care for and pastor students on a weekly basis. Student Night offers a discipleship environment as students are with the same, consistent small group and leaders. Students will grow deeper in their relationship with God through intentional times in worship, short Bible lessons and age-specific small groups.
-
Pop-Ups are held throughout the year and are a chance for our teens to get outside of the four walls of the church to have fun and fellowship together. In the past these events included ice skating, putt putt, swimming and coffee shop meetups!
-
Retreats are held at least once a year to provide a nurturing and safe environment for students to explore their relationship with Jesus. We engage in prayer, worship, reflection, team building activities and a space for students to grow in their relationships with other teens their age. Retreats are held off campus and an opportunity for Students to get away from everyday life and connect with God!

APRIL SERIES
In this series, we'll see what it's like when we celebrate all that God has done through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. We'll celebrate that with Jesus, everyone’s invited, and we'll celebrate who Jesus is. Then, we'll see how we're invited to remember what Jesus has done, let Jesus make us new, follow the Holy Spirit's lead, and how Jesus invites us to invite others.
