WELCOME TO PATHWAYS STUDENTS
Pathways Students offers a worship environment specifically tailored to students. With a dynamic worship experience complete with a live band, inspirational speakers, real and authentic small group discussions, and fun, high-energy games students explore their relationship with Jesus and how that can influence every decision they make.
Our goal is to create environments where students are encouraged to make wise choices, positively influence their friends, and experience personal ministry through serving others.

Grow with us on Wednesday nights — every week from 6-8PM!
At Pathways, our mission is to grow in our relationship with Jesus—and we’re inviting you to grow by stepping into the life of a kid or student.
We’re looking for a team of small group leaders who are ready to be present, show up weekly and make space for faith to grow!
That is why we offer an ongoing Small Group for parents on Wednesday evenings while your kids are gathering for Roots and Pathways Students.
After you drop off your kiddo(s), come hang out in the Family Room from 6:30-7:45 PM – it is a convenient way to connect with other parents without adding to your busy schedule. No registration is necessary for the group meeting in the Family Room – show up when you can!
In addition to the ongoing group, a 10-week Rooted Experience Small Group that covers the rhythms of a deeper faith walk will also be offered from October 8 to December 17. Sign up below by our deadline of September 16.
PARENTS - We have a community for you as well!

Small Group Leaders: This group is the driving force of our Student Ministry. Leaders have an extremely important role in mentoring students as spiritual mom or dads to our students. Leaders are expected to attend most student events as well as have moments of connection outside of PS.
Production Team: If you see your self as tech savvy and would like to hangout with some pretty cool students on Wednesday night, we’d love to have you on our production team! No experience necessary, we are happy to teach you!

PS Serving Roles
Child Care Workers: This is the group that makes everything work. A huge challenge for our small group leaders is childcare. In order for our small group leaders to be consistent it’s important they have childcare on Wednesday nights. This is an awesome place for us as a church to give back to these awesome leaders. Childcare Workers would be scheduled for one Wednesday per month.
Security Team: The safety and security of our students is of upmost importance! If you have background in security or just want to be someone willing to hangout and keep an eye on things we’ll take you!
