Students

Our Vision

Our student ministry vision is to partner with families to help students KNOW CHRIST and MAKE HIM KNOWN.

Love God

It is our desire to foster an environment for students to see their need for God and to grow in their affection for Him and devotion to Him.

Unite with Believers

It is our aim to model biblical community for our students and to regularly gather together to encourage one another and stimulate one another to love and good works.

Serve the World

It is our desire that each of our students would see the many opportunities that exist in our community, city, and world to serve others and follow Christ’s example of sacrificial love and compassion.

Entrust the Gospel

The gospel of Jesus Christ is the good news that saves and sanctifies. It is our hope that as students grow in the gospel, they will continually share the gospel with others and participate in disciple-making.

The class consists of five modules: Gospel Integration, Discipleship Strategy, Mission Focus, Cross-Cultural Immersion, and Discerning Personal Calling.

Upcoming Events

Senior Recognition

May 4, 2025

Ready or not, graduation is right around the corner! The Sherwood Student Ministry Staff is so excited for our seniors who will be graduating this year, and we want to honor and recognize their achievement. We plan to recognize and honor our seniors during the Sunday morning service and then enjoy a special luncheon together afterwards.

Sherwood Student Camp

Blue Horizon Retreat in Panama City Beach
June 9-13, 2025

In John 15:5, Jesus says, “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” Just as a branch must stay connected to the vine to grow and produce fruit, believers must stay connected to Christ. Abiding is the foundation of our faith and daily walk with Christ, and everything we need is in Him. We’ll dive deep into what it means to truly abide in Christ and remain in His love throughout the week! Student Camp will include worship,dynamic teaching, small groups, beachfront activities, private pool, three meals daily, snack shop, a donut shop next door, transportation, and much more!
