FH Students

We love students and desire to serve parents by coming alongside their teen and pointing them to the life-changing message of the gospel. Our goal is to equip and empower students to connect, grow and serve Christ through interactive teaching and intentional small groups that are immersed in the gospel.

the gathering

WEDNESDAYS // 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

The Gathering is our midweek event for students in 6-12th grade. This worship gathering allows students to build friendships, hear relevant teaching and have fun together in biblical community. 


Every other week, we have student-led prayer groups after youth is finished. This is a time for students to pray for one another, have accountability, and share encouragement. 


The focus of The Gathering is to help students ask questions about Christianity, experience fellowship with their peers, and deepen their love for Jesus -- we'd love for your student to join us next Wednesday!

  • Students in 6th -12th grade will meet in The Gateway from 6:00-7:00 p.m. on Wednesday nights.
  • Students will enter on the north side of the campus at The Gateway.
