Make an Eternal Impact in Renewal Students

Did you know a student needs five adult Jesus-followers in their life to build a foundation of faith that can last a lifetime? That’s exactly what Renewal Students is all about—walking alongside middle and high school students as they grow in their relationship with Jesus.

We are looking for adults who want to make a difference: lead small groups, hang out with students, and model what it means to follow Christ. Your presence, guidance, and example can shape a student’s faith in ways that last far beyond Wednesday night.

If you’re ready to invest in the next generation, reach out to our Director of Next Generation Ministries, Abby Antolik, to get involved.

Make an Eternal Impact with Renewal Kids
Every Sunday, Renewal Kids has the privilege of walking alongside parents to disciple the next generation. From rocking babies in the nursery to leading a small group of 5th graders, volunteers are planting seeds of faith that will grow for a lifetime.

When you serve in Renewal Kids, you’re not just filling a spot—you’re shaping young hearts to know and follow Jesus. You have the chance to show them God’s love, encourage them in His Word, and model what it means to walk with Him.

The next generation is watching, listening, and learning. Your investment of time and love could be what helps a child come to know that they are deeply loved by God and called to live for Him.
