Helping students learn how Jesus makes a difference in their everyday life

Thrive Students

Let’s be honest: being a teenager isn’t the easiest thing in the world.

Middle and high school students are constantly living in the tension of growing up and becoming their own person while still being only teenagers. That tension leads to some of life’s best memories and biggest questions.

At Thrive Students, we’re here to do three things:

Help students understand how Jesus impacts their lives in normal, everyday ways.

Provide a safe space where students can ask hard questions and face their struggles.

Partner with parents to provide resources to disciple their student at home.

growing up can be hard

But it should also be fun.

Sunday | 7th-12th grade | 6:30–8:30pm

Thrive Nights

Thrive belongs to the students. It’s their place to be accepted as who they are – whatever that looks like.

Every week we gather together to hang out, play games, worship, and study the Bible together as students. Our goal is to show students how Jesus impacts every part of their lives and is more than just a church thing.

Watch how Jesus is changing the lives of students

Help us get Salem Chapel ready for Christmas! We’ll be decorating the building together, enjoying some laughs, good company, and plenty of Christmas cheer. It’s a great way to slow down for a couple of hours, meet new people, and serve in a simple but meaningful way that helps our whole church celebrate the season.
