Student Ministry

Our Vision

The Sherwood Student Ministry strives to partner with parents/guardians to develop fully devoted and equipped followers of Jesus Christ. Students are challenged to be biblically literate in a biblically illiterate world. Our desire is that students come to know, seek and obey Christ in daily surrender to His Lordship and become passionate about loving God and loving others.

EVENTS

This summer our middle and high school students will be going TOGETHER to North Florida Christian Camp in Keystone Heights, FL. This will be a week full of awesome worship, dynamic teachings, and incredible activities such as paintball, tubing, the blob, and tons of other fun surprises. Our camp speaker this year is Pastor Garrett Grubbs, and our worship leader is Seth and Katie Brasher.

Families that register their students before April 15th will be able to secure the $260 early-bird rate. The price goes up to $300 on April 15th. A $75 deposit is due at registration for both the early-bird and regular price. The final balance for everyone going to summer camp is due on May 24th.

If you have any questions about ELEVATE Camp, please contact the student ministry office at (229) 883-1910 ext. 1220.

Senior Recognition is a joyous occasion in which our church body celebrates alongside families who have students graduating from high school! We recognize the graduates during our worship service and host them for a delicious meal following the service.

SLU 101 provides a year’s worth of leadership development in just 4 days. This dynamic experience allows attendees to learn from world-class thought leaders in creative and participatory environments inside and outside of the conference room. SLU teaches each student practical and relational life skills to change the way they think, dream, and lead at the feet of Jesus.

Their messages are constructed to minister to young people and challenge them to impact those around them for Christ. Our worship time is led by our Student Worship Team!

ELEVATE has several fun activities for students. Due to social distancing regulations, we have sought to separate our students during the fellowship time leading up to the services. High School students will hang out, play games, etc. in the HOPE building, while Middle School students worship in Hope 204 at 6:15 PM. At 7:15 PM they will switch and Middle School students will hang out while High School meets for worship in Hope 204. Most Wednesday nights, weather permitting, the student ministry also has basketball and 4-square outside in the parking lot. To cool off, students can visit the Elevate Café. Each Wednesday students can purchase frappes, sodas, candy and different food items! The Elevate Café, basketball area and game room area are open from 6 PM until 7:45 PM.

STUDENT Connect groups

At Sherwood, we believe spiritual growth is important. For that reason, we challenge every person to do life together with other believers in a Connect Group. A Connect Group is an environment of biblical community where students can feel welcome and accepted, encounter Christ and His Word and be discipled. Our groups spend time in God’s Word through Bible-based curriculum. Each group is encouraged to study the Bible weekly and hang out quarterly

CONNECT GROUPS MEET AT 10 am-10:45 am

Hope 1st Floor
