Student Summer Wednesdays
June 3 - August 26
What’s Happening This Summer
From small groups to nights out, check out everything we’ve got planned for Students.
Jr. High Students
Junior High Students
We love partnering with parents to help guide their students through this exciting (and sometimes difficult) time of their lives. As students navigate their way between adolescence and adulthood, we see huge potential to help them grow in their walk with God and make their faith their own. Nothing brings us more joy than helping develop that foundation in your student’s life!
High School Students
High School students are asking questions like, “where do I belong, what should I believe, how can I matter, and what will I do?” The MET High School Ministry is dedicated to helping high school students answer these questions. We desire to listen to their questions and respond carefully. Ultimately, we want to connect them to Christ and others and help them find a place to belong. We also seek to provide opportunities for them to make a difference within their community. Finally, we want to guide and encourage their vision of God’s purpose for their life.
Wednesday Nights
Weekly gathering for 7th-12th grade students to hang with friends, have fun, worship and experience a relevant, bible-based message they can apply right away.
This is a chance for students to come together and experience God in a meaningful way through music, prayer, and getting into the Word. Whether you’re looking to make new friends, deepen your faith, or just hang out and have a good time, Wednesday Nights has something for everyone.
Wednesdays | 6:30pm | The HUB
Student Sundays
Join us for an awesome time of learning about God’s Word and discussing it with your friends. Whether you’re looking to grow in your faith or just make some new friends, Student Sundays is the place to be. Come to The HUB at 9:30am, then we’ll make our way to the main campus at The MET at 11:00am to sit together for worship and Sunday teaching. We can’t wait to see you there.

Serve With Us
Want to make a difference that lasts? Serving with MET Students means investing in the next generation — showing up, listening well, and pointing students to Jesus. Whether you lead a group, greet at the door, or serve behind the scenes, your “yes” matters.
Creating a Safe Place to Belong
At The Met, safety isn’t just a policy, it’s part of how we love students and lead with integrity.
We want every student to know they are seen, valued, and protected. That means creating a space where leaders model healthy relationships, clear boundaries, and Christ-like respect.
Every adult who serves in Met Students completes a background check, ministry screening, and ongoing training in safety and boundaries. Our goal is simple: to ensure every student can grow in faith in an environment built on trust.
A Note to Parents
Your student’s safety is our highest priority. We’re intentional about choosing and training leaders who reflect the heart of Jesus; leaders who listen well, maintain healthy boundaries, and build trust through accountability.
We follow The Met’s full Safety Policy, which includes:
- Screening and background checks for every adult leader.
- Safe ratios of leaders to students in all environments.
- Clear guidelines for appropriate communication and contact.
- Required two-adult presence for all gatherings.
We believe discipleship and safety go hand in hand because students can only grow spiritually when they feel emotionally and physically safe.
Serving with Integrity
As a Met Student Leader, you have the privilege of shaping faith and the responsibility of modeling wisdom.
Our leaders commit to:
- Maintaining healthy, God-honoring boundaries with students.
- Communicating transparently (in groups, not privately).
- Avoiding one-on-one meetups or rides without another adult present.
- Reporting any concerns immediately to staff.
We lead as a team, we stay accountable, and we protect what matters most, the trust of the students and families we serve.
PARENTS - want to stay connected with our student ministry?
Parent Path
Parent Path unites parents and the church as a team and represents an intentional pathway of discipleship. It’s our job to work together and equip the future generation. Your child matures through phases and your parenting will change as you move through parenting phases. Celebrating the moments of growth in your child are significant. Let’s celebrate these special moments of growth and maturity together as a parent and church team through milestones!

A New Season for Student Ministry
This fall, we’re introducing some exciting changes to Student Ministry at The Met as we create more intentional environments for Junior High and High School students to grow in their faith, build relationships, and take next steps with Jesus.
We’re still one student ministry family, and we’re excited for what’s ahead.
WHY WE’RE MAKING THIS CHANGE
Why the Shift?
Junior High and High School students are in very different stages of life.
They face different pressures, ask different questions, and grow in different ways. By creating more intentional environments for each age group, we believe we can better disciple students and help them build a faith that lasts.
This isn’t about separating students because something is wrong. It’s about creating healthier pathways for growth, connection, and discipleship.
What’s Staying the Same?
- We are still ONE student ministry family
- Camps remain together for 7th–12th grade
- Major events and key experiences remain shared
- Our mission has not changed:
- helping students know Jesus
- build meaningful relationships
- and live out their faith
FAQs
When do these changes begin?
These changes will begin rolling out in Fall 2026.
Will students still be together sometimes?
Yes. Camps, major events, worship nights, and special experiences will continue to bring Junior High and High School students together.
Is Sunday morning student ministry going away?
No. Student programming will still be available Sunday mornings at 9:30am, but the format and focus will evolve to better support spiritual growth and discipleship.
Why separate Junior High and High School?
Students in these age groups are navigating very different stages of life. This allows us to create environments, teaching, and discipleship opportunities that are more intentional and age-appropriate.
What if this schedule is difficult for our family?
We understand that change may require adjustments for some families. Our team wants to partner with you and help students stay connected and engaged as we move into this new season together.
Who can I contact with questions?
Volunteers
As we move into this next season, we’re excited to continue building healthy, intentional environments for students.
Leaders and volunteers will receive:
- Updated schedules
- Training opportunities
- Role clarity
- Communication resources
Thank you for continuing to invest in the next generation.
We’re Excited for What’s Ahead
We truly believe the best days of Student Ministry are ahead.
Thank you for trusting us with your students as we step into this next season together.
