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.

ELEVATE High School Retreat

FEBRUARY 17-19, 2023 | COST $115
Webster's dictionary defines the word "retreat" as a period of group withdrawal for prayer, study, meditation, or instruction. This is precisely what our retreat weekend will be focused on -- providing the teaching, instruction, and opportunities to learn and practice many spiritual habits that have been influential in the lives of believers for thousands of years.

Student Connect Groups

CONNECT GROUPS MEET AT 11 am - noon.
Location | Hope Building

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
