Encounter Christ’s Love
In our world today, it is essential to provide opportunities for students to deepen their faith, grow in their gifts, and connect with God. Our SG Students program provides Junior and Senior High students (7th-12th grade) with a place to find belonging, have fun, make lasting friendships, and grow in their relationship with God.
We give our students the chance to use their talents and share their beliefs through retreats, mission trips and service opportunities throughout the year. Each week we meet for worship, fun activities and small groups designed to challenge students to own their faith and make a difference.
Wednesday Nights
All students are invited to join us on Wednesdays from 7-8:30p (September-May) and 7-9p (June-August) for powerful, youth-led worship, relevant teaching, and time to hangout with friends.

If your 7th/8th grade student is ready to take their next step of faith, we want to celebrate that with you! Our First Communion & Confirmation (FCC) program is starting up soon.

Get Involved at Church
We encourage our Junior and Senior High students to serve at Shepherd’s Gate by volunteering in our SG Kids program during the 10 or 11:30a service. Whether your student wants to lead worship, run sound, or help our nursery caregivers, we want them to get involved and give back. Contact [email protected] for a full list of serving opportunities.

sept series | rhythm
Wednesdays 7-8:30p
For most of us, when we hear the word “worship,” we think about singing songs at church. But could there be more to worship than just music and words on a screen? In this series, we’ll find out what it looks like to worship God with our whole lives. As we do, we’ll see that when we find the right rhythm to our worship, we’ll also find ourselves walking in better rhythm with the God we’re worshiping.
