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.

STUDENT SCHEDULE

Elevate Student Ministries Services // Wednesday Nights in Hope 204

5:30pm — Basketball, Cafe and Game Room Open

ELEVATE is our mid-week worship gathering for students. Tim Johnson, our Middle School Pastor, speaks each week to our middle school students and Dalton Moore, our Student Ministry Associate speaks each week to our high school students. While the sermon series are almost always the same, the messages in each service differ depending on the age group.

ELEVATE also has several fun activities for students. In our game room students can play ping-pong, pool, and video games. This is a great place for them to have fun and fellowship with their friends. Most Wednesday nights, weather permitting; the student ministry also has basketball outside in the parking lot. To cool off, students can visit the ELEVATE Cafe. Each Wednesday students can purchase frappes, Cokes, candy and different food items! The Elevate Café, basketball area and game room area are open from 5:30PM till 8:30PM.

DNOW Canceled

To Our Sherwood Student Ministry Family,

We are monitoring the ever-evolving COVID-19 situation. With this in mind, over the past few weeks, we have sought the Lord’s wisdom and are seeking to love our neighbors during this time. Students and volunteers experience close contact throughout the weekend in host homes, worship services, rec., etc. Therefore, we have reached the decision to cancel DNOW. This cancellation is a proactive and precautionary measure and was made through prayer and wise counsel.

As a result of the cancellation of this event please click the link below and fill out the google form for reimbursement or for a re-allocation of your funds to camp.

Process

*For those who participated in the Pancake Fundraiser, the money will be re-allocated to your fundraiser account to be used for future events.

Helpful prayer points from the office of the Pastor for our church family during this time:

That we will have wisdom as we gauge the situation and prepare for further response
God to use this as a catalyst for the Gospel
That the enemy will not use the situation to isolate people
A quick end to COVID-19

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
