STUDENTS
Spotswood Students exists to be a community of light that makes middle and high schoolers into disciples who love God and love their neighbor. Led by Pastor Dakota (HS) and Pastor Nate (MS), our student ministries are constantly growing and offering new opportunities to engage and get connected.
Sundays for Students
Connect Groups
Connect groups are available in the Student Building for all grades at both worship hours! We love seeing students attend connect group one hour and worship with their families at the other.
Midweek for Students
MSM + HSM • Wednesdays, 6P – 8P
If you’ve been to one of our midweeks, you know these gatherings are too fun to miss!
High energy games. Meaningful worship. Strong teaching. All with good friends!
Our Environments Are Phone-Free
We want our Student Ministry gatherings to be spaces where students can be fully present with God and with one another. Because of that, we are committed to creating phone-free environments during the times we gather.
This does not mean phones will be confiscated. Instead we are asking students and families to partner with us by encouraging phones to be put away and left unused during services, small groups, worship, and ministry activities.
Why Does This Matter?
Because we believe a phone-free environment helps us live out our Next Gen Commitments:
We welcome others and build real community by being fully present.
We remove distractions so we can listen, grow, and respond to what God is doing.
We give God our full attention in worship, teaching, and prayer.
We engage the people around us instead of retreating into our screens.
We believe God often does deep work when distractions are put away. Our hope is not simply to limit screen time, but to help students experience the joy and value of being fully present. We are grateful for the partnership of parents and students as we work together to create this kind of environment.
