Wellspring Students exists to give middle and high school students a place where they can belong, ask questions, grow in their faith, and build relationships that can carry through some of the most formative years of their lives.
We want this to be one of the safest places they can come to find community—whoever they are and wherever they are in their story.
Middle school and high school come with real pressure, questions, disappointments, and hard seasons. Wellspring wants students to already have a community around them when those moments come.
Students can show up with questions and work through what they believe without pretending to have it all figured out. This is a space to grow, ask questions, and understand what following Jesus means for them.
Students are placed in groups with leaders who are intentionally investing in them. The goal is for a leader to start with students in 6th grade and continue with them through graduation so that they build a relationship over time.
Once a month, Sunday night gets bigger.
House Party is a themed night built more like a full student service, with special food, worship, and a shared experience for everyone before students head back into the rhythm of community that defines Wellspring Students.
Wellspring Students gathers on Sunday nights for food, time together, biblical teaching, and small groups. Students have space to hang out, play basketball or gaga ball, eat together, and connect before moving into a short large-group message. From there, they break into small groups where the conversation can become more personal and relevant to what they’re actually walking through.
And yes—we feed them every week.
Middle school and high school come with real pressure, triumphs, disappointments, change, and sometimes crisis. We want students to already have people around them when those moments come – to walk through whatever they’re walking through. Leaders and friends who know their story. A community they trust. People who can listen, support them, and help them find their footing when life gets difficult. That’s what it means for your student to find their people here.

Wellspring Students is a heartbeat of the church. Staff members and volunteers from across Wellspring invest in student camps, events, weekly environments, and the next generation as a whole. It is a multi-generational investment in helping students know Jesus, build strong community, and develop a faith that can carry beyond high school.
Come meet the people, find your group, and experience what student community at Wellspring looks like.
Our goal in Wellspring Students is to partner with parents and families to facilitate a foundation of faith for students to build on as they transition up to middle school and high school. Below are a few of the ways we partner with parents throughout the year. See our Events page for upcoming happenings.
One of our core values at Wellspring is that We Believe Circles Are Better than Rows. Because we believe this, we think it’s important that our Students, like our adults, be in Community Groups or Tribes, to help them learn from each other. Here we take time to build friendships, answer tough questions, and help our students grow in their faith.
Tribe Night is where we gather, have fun, eat good food and then move to a large group experience where we hear a message about a relevant topic. The rest of the night is spent in Tribes discussing the topic and building connections! Tribes are broken down by grade and gender.
We want our Students to learn the value of living a life of Worship. So once a month Wellspring Students gathers together for House Party. House Party is a chance to sing, dance and worship together as a group of students as well as listen to an inspiring message from one of our speakers. We always have a special theme for House Party and have a little fun as we come together!
Wellspring Student Camp is designed for rising 6th graders through graduating seniors who are ready to step away from the distractions of everyday life and intentionally pursue God. This week creates space for students to encounter Christ in a deeper way through worship, teaching, prayer, and authentic community—while still enjoying fun, connection, and unforgettable moments together.
Each day, students will gather with their Tribes, the same small groups they connect with during our weekly student nights. These Tribes will journey together throughout the week, building relationships and encouraging one another as they grow in faith. Friendly competitions and shared experiences help create unity, while pointing students toward a greater purpose.
Our nights will be marked by powerful worship led by the Wellspring Band and biblical, Spirit-led messages from our team! We believe every summer is an opportunity for God to move, speak, and transform hearts.
