Oxygen Student Ministry
Oxygen Student Ministry (OSM) is made up of 6th – 12th grade students who are encouraged to grow in their relationship with
God, engage in ministry with their peers, and experience what it means
to be the hands and feet of Jesus! We offer outside-the-box ministry
opportunities and work as a team to equip students with the tools to be
spiritual soldiers in the battle of a lifetime!
Join us!
Sunday Small Groups
9:00 - 10:00 am
We
meet as a group giving updates and important info before splitting into
Middle School and High School classes to dive deeper into our Bible
lesson and share how God’s Word impacts life today!
Wednesday Night Live
6:00 - 7:30 pm
Join us every Wednesday night in the Student Building! We spend some time getting to know each other and hanging out, but we also have themes such as Wild About Worship, Mid-week Mayhem, Reel-to-Real, Food Frenzy, and more! It’s a great night to bring a friend or be a newbie!
What's New?
Only eight more weeks of the 25/26 school year! Don't miss a moment of opportunity to share the gospel with people God has placed in your life for the next eight weeks - you're not guaranteed another chance. We often wait for the "perfect" moment to share our faith, but if we only look for the obvious moments, we might miss the small open doors God places right in front of us every day.
Taking every opportunity to tell someone about Jesus doesn’t mean being loud or forceful; it means being attentive. It’s about seeing the person who walks behind you every day at school, the kid who sits in the desk next to yours but you've never spoken to or the teacher who always seems to be having a bad day and needs to hear a kind word. Colossians 4:5 reminds us to "be wise in the way you act toward outsiders (non-believers); make the most of every opportunity."
Often, the most powerful gospel "presentations" start with a simple question: "How can I pray for you?" or "Hey, we're doing something fun in my youth group, you should come with me!" Sharing the Good News is less about having the perfect script and more about having a willing heart. Pray for each other, parents/guardians/grandparents/friends - pray for our students!
Come be a part of making the most of every opportunity to reach the next generation with the Hope of Jesus!
