High School

The High School Ministry at St. Luke's partners with families in the spiritual formation of high school students. The aim is for students to grow to love God, love others, and love themselves. Our hope is that they will be transformed by the Gospel, engaged in meaningful faith-forming relationships, activated as change-agents in their communities, and developed into spiritual leaders.

Sundays

On Sunday mornings we encourage our High School students to join us at the 9:30AM Contemporary Service in Robertson Chapel where we sit together as a group. High Schoolers are always welcome to get involved in worship whether it's ushering, playing in the band, or serving as a greeter!

Before and after each service, stop by our High School Hub located in C124. This is the go-to spot for high school students to gather with their friends on Sunday mornings, engage in fellowship, discuss the sermon and even grab a waffle! We have the room from 8AM - 12:30PM so come early, stay late, and we'll see you in the Hub.

Small Groups

High School Small Groups meet thorughout the week and weekend in various locations across the city. These groups are designed to foster a tight-knit community. Interested in getting involved? Let Travis know and we will get you connected to one if you aren't already.

Events

March 6 | Students VS Staff

Fundraisers

We offer plenty of opportunities to pay for retreats, mission trips, and activities by offering fundraisers that put money into Scholarship Accounts.

Stock Sales, Month of February - Members of the church can purchase "shares" of our youth mission trips, receiving personalized thank you notes from our youth and an invitation to meet them and hear about their trip at a Shareholder's Dinner in August.
Silent Auction, March 15 - Our annual Silent Auction and Hire-A-Teen is our largest fundraiser of the year, accounting for half of our overall sales. There are a variety of goods and experiences for sale!
