Impact Student Ministry is changing the lives of Middle and High School Students
by introducing them to a growing and active life with Christ.
The above statement isn’t just a catchy slogan, it’s what IMPACT is all about. A life with Jesus Christ is exciting, challenging, and the most rewarding experience a person can have and we want to introduce and encourage middle school and high school students to begin and develop that kind of life. You can download a detailed copy of our Philosophy of Ministry here.
By being a part of IMPACT, you’ll be a part of a group of your peers who are developing that same relationship with Christ. You can expect to be a part of fun and meaningful youth worship events, deeper discussion in a smaller group of students your same age, and lots of other opportunities for special events like worship events, mission trips, retreats, and other monthly special activities.
Grow Groups
Sunday Mornings at 9am
Grade-based fellowship groups that “do life together.” You may talk about what’s happening at school, the application of the teaching focus for the week, pray for and with each other, do mission work together, and just have a great time!
Small Groups
Wednesday Evenings at 6:30pm
Our mid-week small groups are a chance for students to gather together to hear a short biblical lesson, then they are broken up into age and gender-specific groups where they make practical application and experience biblical community together.
Converge
Monthly on a Sunday Evening at 5pm
Converge is a corporate worship event specifically designed for Middle and High School students. Students are encouraged to invite their friends that may not normally go to church. Each service includes music, prayer, games, and a time of opening God’s Word.
PARENTS: We require that students participating in off-campus activities have an annual Medical Release Form filed with the Church Office. This form provides important medical information and serves to protect both your student and the church in the unlikely event of an emergency medical situation. If the student is under 18 years of age, this form must be notarized. For your convenience, we will be organizing opportunities for you to meet with a notary here at the church.

At these homes you’ll engage in Bible-based discussions facilitated by leaders within the church and community; have downtime goofing off with your peers; have some home-cooked meals; and perhaps even a little bit of sleep at night! Groups then come together at Providence for large-group worship (featuring live and exciting music) and Bible study sessions. To sign up and to find out more about REACH 2023, click here.
