FIND YOUR PLACE
PRETEENS
5th–6th Grade
Preteens are beginning to ask bigger questions and discover what faith looks like for themselves. We give them a space that’s fun, welcoming, and designed for this in-between season as they build friendships, explore Scripture, and learn what it means to follow Jesus.
Come hang out with us — there’s a place for you here.
JR. HIGH
7th–8th Grade
Jr. High is full of change, questions, and figuring out where you belong. We want students to have a community where they can be themselves, ask honest questions, dig into Scripture, and build friendships with people who will encourage them in their faith.
Bring your questions. Bring a friend. Come be part of it.
HIGH SCHOOL
9th–12th Grade
High school students are navigating big decisions about who they are, what they believe, and how they want to live. We create space to go deeper in Scripture, have meaningful conversations, serve together, and build a faith that reaches beyond Sunday morning.
Come find community, grow deeper, and discover where God is leading you.
FAITH IS MEANT TO BE LIVED TOGETHER.

Youth Worship Team
Students grow as musicians, learn to serve together, and discover what it means to lead others in worship.
Sundays • 3:30–5:00 PM
CONFIRMATION
Confirmation gives high school students an opportunity to explore what Christians believe, ask meaningful questions, develop their own statement of faith, and consider becoming a Covenant Partner at Windwood.
TROOPS
Looking for another way to get connected? Trail Life USA and American Heritage Girls meet right here at Windwood, giving students opportunities to build friendships, develop practical skills, serve others, and grow in their faith.
Several of our Windwood Youth students are already involved, and there’s always room for more!
new here?
Trying something new can feel a little awkward, we get it! Whether your student has grown up in church, is exploring faith for the first time, or is somewhere in between, there’s a place for them at Windwood Youth.
Here are a few things that might be helpful before you come….
-
Most of our youth gatherings happen in The Rock, our youth space located toward the back of Windwood's campus. If you're not sure where to go when you arrive, just ask—we'll make sure you find us!
-
Students gather at 9:30 AM for worship, Scripture, conversation, and time together. We spend part of the morning as a larger youth community before breaking into age-based groups where students can connect and discuss what we're learning. Doors to The Rock (gym) open at 9:00 AM
-
For our regular Sunday and Wednesday gatherings, just show up! Registration may be requested for retreats, trips, and special events so we can plan appropriately. You'll find those registrations with each event.
-
Absolutely. New students are welcome anytime, and bringing a friend is always encouraged. Our adult leaders want to help students get connected rather than leaving them to figure everything out on their own.
-
For most gatherings, just themselves! A Bible is always welcome, but we also have what students need to participate. There's no special dress code, come as you are.
-
We regularly communicate upcoming events, registrations, schedule updates, and other important information with our youth families.
And if you ever have a question about where your student fits or what's coming up, we'd love to hear from you.
pre-teen + youth nights!
Once a month, our Preteens and Youth gather for a night designed to help students connect, have fun, and grow in their faith.
Preteen Nights are for 5th–6th grade students, and Youth Nights bring together our 7th–12th graders. Each night includes dinner, games and activities, time in God's Word, and plenty of space to simply hang out and build friendships.
These nights are also a great opportunity to invite a friend! Our hope is to create a place where students feel welcomed, known, and connected to one another and to caring adult leaders as they grow in their relationship with Jesus.
