Student Ministry

Students in grades 6-12 are welcome to find a place in our StuMin Band. Rehearsal will take place in the Sanctuary in the Worship Center. Due to a high number of students, we use a rotation system to ensure that all students can contribute.

All students are encouraged to participate in age-level small groups. There are two sessions, “early” and “late,” meeting in various spaces in the Christian Life Center. Small group content is written differently for high school and middle school groups.

Freestyle is available for all students and meets in the Media Room of the Christian Life Center. There are snacks, games, and spaces for students to connect. This is also a great volunteer opportunity for parents.

Students are invited to join us for amazing music, large group games, sacraments, and a relevant message in the Family Room of the Christian Life Center. This is not a passive experience! There are many ways to be involved as ushers, greeters, communion servers, game and announcement hosts, guest speakers, singers, dancers, and much more.

This year’s theme is “A People Called Parent.” Parents will explore the different ways children call us into being a parent. A variety of people will cover a range of challenges and issues that parents face.

Parenting Tools meets in the chapel.

Sunday StuMin is a ministry for middle school students run by high school students that meets on select Sundays throughout the year at 11:00 am in Room 200 of the Christian Life Center. Middle schools students can expect games, music, and short devotional. High school students will learn leadership skills as they plan and lead this important ministry. No registration is required. Contact Jason Kramme for more information.

In Affirmation of Baptism students commit to taking the lead in their own life of discipleship. We approach each of the participants as if they are characters in a subplot of God’s great story.

Then, applying the principles of what makes a truly great story, help them clarify and bring meaning to the life they commit to during Affirmation of Baptism. Along the way we’ll learn about who God is, who we are, the story we’re a part of, and the life we’ve been called to.

Two 10-week sessions are offered on Sunday mornings each year (one in the fall and one in the spring). Each session culminates in a celebration with the entire Prince of Peace community during weekend worship.

Don’t forget to fill out your attendance sheet! Also, if you have a note for Jason or Dawn this sheet can be a good place to write it.

Please start thinking about these December events

Sixth Grade Get-Together
The first of our grade level get-together is for our sixth grade students.

• What: These are 45 minute leader-led mixers for students in a particular grade replacing large group time.
• When: Each grade will have two of these events a year.
• Where: These will take place at Prince of Peace unless other arrangements are made by leaders.
• How it Works: Connect with the leaders from your grade-level to plan an event for the number of students in your grade.
• Goal: We want kids to know other kids in their grade better and to establish a group identity

All materials can be purchased by staff. Simply provide staff with a list with enough time before the event to purchase. We would like these events to cost $50 or less.
