Sunday Night Student Ministries

Sundays 6:00-7:30pm at The Rock


Beginning March 2, 2025:

Middle School and High School students, in 6th-12th grade, meet weekly on Sundays from 6:00-7:30pm inside The Rock. Students enjoy musical worship, a message designed just for students , and then breakout into small groups with other students their age.


Sunday Nights are a safe and welcoming place where students can connect in Christian Community, grow in their faith and ask questions as they discover more of who Jesus is. Our small groups are led by mature and loving adults and young adults who care deeply about your family and being another resource for students in this journey through adolescence.


Our Student Ministry at Mount of Olives Church strives to create a safe environment for students to share struggles and to connect intimately and authentically. We desire that each student knows Christ deeper and makes Him known in their lives.

Middle School Winter Weekend

Each year, our Rock Student Ministry offers a fun Winter activity for middle school students. 


This year, students enjoyed Middle School Winter Weekend in December where students in 6th-8th grade gathered with their friends for a weekend filled with Laser Tag, a Game truck, Rock Climbing, Food, Prizes, and an Overnight!


The big purpose behind these winter weekends is to share impactful and meaningful messages for young teens looking to better understand who Jesus is and how he changes everything. Our mission is to give students a safe place to find community and build a lasting faith. 


Camps are designed to give students the opportunity to invite a friend to a fun event where they can hear the good news.


Details about the next Winter Activities are usually available in the fall.

First Communion
