Who We Are
At Connect Students, we’re all about helping the next generation discover who they are in Christ and how to live it out every day. We believe faith isn’t just something for Sunday—it’s a lifelong adventure meant to be shared in community. Our heart is to create a space where students feel seen, supported, and challenged to grow in their walk with Jesus. Through real relationships, honest conversations, and unforgettable experiences, we’re raising up world-changers who love God and love people.
What We Do
At Connect Students, we believe growing in faith should be exciting, meaningful, and full of life! Each week, students come together to learn about Jesus in ways that connect to their real world—through worship, teaching, and small group discussions that go deeper.
We also love to have fun and build community with events like Bloom, Basecamp, pool parties, service projects, and more. Every gathering is a chance to grow closer to God, build lasting friendships, and discover your purpose in Him.

What's Different
Connect Students isn’t just another youth group—it’s a family. We’re real about faith, honest about life, and passionate about seeing students grow into who God created them to be. Everything we do—from worship and small groups to late-night hangouts and big events—is designed to help students own their faith, not just borrow it. We don’t want church to be something students attend; we want it to be something they live.
About Us
Get to know more about what makes us different.
At Connect Students, we’re not just trying to fill seats—we’re building a movement of young people who genuinely know Jesus and want to make Him known. What sets us apart is our commitment to real discipleship, authentic relationships, and creating a place where students can truly belong. We believe that faith grows best in community, and that students don’t need to wait until adulthood to live with purpose and impact.
Our leaders are passionate about walking alongside students through every season of life—celebrating their wins, helping them navigate struggles, and pointing them to the truth of God’s Word. Whether it’s a night of worship, a deep conversation in small group, serving the community, or laughing together at a pool party, every moment is designed to help students encounter Jesus in a real and lasting way.
We’re not about hype for the sake of hype. We’re about transformation that lasts beyond the weekend. At Connect Students, your faith becomes personal, your friendships become family, and your story becomes part of something bigger than yourself. This is where you discover who you are, whose you are, and how God can use you to change the world.
