Your place to belong
Teens need to have a place to belong. To grow in their faith, build relationships, and connect with God.
We designed our Students program for Junior High & High School Students (7th-12th grade) to do just that. Check out the ways you can keep your Students connected.

Your Student’s Next Faith Steps
First Communion and Confirmation (FCC) are two important stepping stones in your Student’s faith walk. During this program, your student will expand their connection with God and learn to own their faith.
First Communion is a 2-day training that happens each year in February for 6th grade and up. (If you are already enrolled in the first communion/confirmation program, you do not need to register for this.)
Confirmation is a 2-year program that students can begin in 7th grade. The program consists of three seminars and a retreat each year. Students are confirmed in October after year 2.Â

Get Involved at Church
We encourage our Junior High & High School students to serve at Shepherd’s Gate by volunteering in our SG Kids program during the 10:45a service. Whether your student wants to lead worship, run sound, or help our nursery caregivers, we want them to get involved and give back. Check out all the ways your student can use their talents to serve.
