Students

About

The goal of Highland Student Ministry is to bring high school and middle school students together for worship and fellowship, develop as disciples, and take the Gospel to the world. We challenge students to own their faith, follow Christ more personally, and embrace the Word of God. Highland as a whole sums up these values in three words: Gather, Grow, Go.

Weekly events

Meet us at 10am in the Youth Room each Sunday for Student Connection!

Each Sunday, all students will meet in the Youth Room (1st floor Education Building) for announcements, Scripture reading, worship, and then split into grade specific classrooms. Adult leaders will teach and engage the students with God’s Word. High school lessons follow the Highland Inductive Study, through the book of Acts which the Adult Ministries also work through on Wednesdays. Middle school students will work through the Gospel Project, specifically their curriculum of the History of the Early Church. We hope to see you on Sundays!

Meet us at 6:30pm in the Youth Room each Wednesday for Midweek! 

Each Wednesday night, all students will meet in the Youth Room for a time of fellowship, worship, teaching, and small groups. Small groups are led by young adult leaders who have a passion for God's Word and for discipleship. On the first Wednesday of each month, we have TABLE Midweek. At TABLE, students meet in the Youth Room for food, fellowship, worship, and an extended time of teaching with no small groups. We hope to see you on Wednesdays!

Volunteer At HSM

There are two primary ways to serve with HSM:

College Volunteers: Waco is blessed to be home to several university and college campuses. College students who love Christ are only a few steps ahead of our students and remember well what its like to be a teenager. This makes them excellent mentors to our students, examples for them to follow, and a trusted voice that reinforces Biblical and parental teaching.

Adult Volunteers: We utilize adults in various ways as event chaperones, host homes, teachers, drivers, and mentors.
