Students (6th-12th)

SO, WHAT IS THE ORCHARD student MINISTRY ALL ABOUT?

Our mission is to connect students to Jesus and teach them to be disciples throughout the community.

Our purpose is to relate with students in such a way that they can ask honest questions about faith and make an honest decision to become a follower of Jesus. We invite students who have made the decision to follow Jesus to become fully devoted followers. Just like adults, Orchard students are invited to become fully devoted by participating in Worship+2 (Attend on Sunday mornings, participate in a Grow Group and a Serve Team).
All Orchard Student ministry environments are built upon four basic principles:

Welcome

Right when you enter our doors, you will notice something different. That difference is adult and student leaders who are truly glad to see you just as you are! Our students and leaders will do everything they can to make you feel welcome. You don’t have to meet any expectations or be “a certain way.” We love you just the way you are! We want to partner with you as we explore what it means to be a follower of Jesus.
Orchard Student Ministry is a dynamic ministry where students in 6th -12th grade gather to learn about how God can transform their lives.
Our ministries are friendly, fun, challenging, and relational. We consider our students the church of today and the church of the future. God is using students to change the world, and we are equipping them as they seek His plan and purpose for their lives.
We host numerous events on Sundays after church, as well as Grow Groups on Wednesday nights at 6:30.
You can always find out what is going on via the Orchard Students by checking out our Instagram and Facebook pages.

Who We Are

GROW GROUPS

Grow Groups are the place to go deeper both in friendships and in your relationship with Jesus. Students will learn how God can transform their lives and how they can be a part of something bigger than themselves. Grow Groups often do things together outside the church such as sleep overs, camp outs, community service and lots of other events.

SUNDAY WORSHIP

Worship is something that is very important to us. We believe that students are the Church NOW, not just the future. We believe that students need to serve and participate in worship alongside our adults. We believe in the power of multiple generations being together and this helps us grow deeper in our walk with Jesus Christ. We encourage you to join in Sunday worship at 10:30am.

Serving & Volunteering

Serve Teams

All students at The Orchard are encouraged to serve in some way. Serve Teams are a great way to serve regularly. Whether you are a part of the Student Worship Team, Welcome Team, Audio/Visual Team, Set-Up and Clean-Up Team, or Registration Team, there is a place for everyone to serve. Spiritual growth happens when you learn to give your life away for the benefit of others.

VOLUNTEER AT CHURCH-WIDE EVENTS

Students are a big part of the success of church wide events like Love Loganville and Vacation Bible Camp. We invite all Students to be volunteers so they can partner with the whole church in our mission.
