New here?

You're welcome here

We love having new students come hang out with Glade Students. Whether you join us on a Sunday morning or a Wednesday evening, we'll make introductions and help you connect with other students and leaders. Come ready to study the Word of God and be part of what God is doing here.

Find us in the Student Life Center

That's the building across the rear parking lot from the main church building. Want to plan ahead? Email Jeremiah and he'll make sure your first visit is a great one.

When we gather

Meeting Times

Both gatherings are held in the Student Life Center — the building across the rear parking lot from the main church.

Sunday Mornings

9:15 – 10:30

We begin with a full group rally, then break into small table groups led by vetted leaders for rich biblical discussion in a safe, thought-provoking environment.

Student Life Center

Wednesday Evenings

6:30 PM

Our weekly worship service. Come expecting to worship together, hear from God's Word, and build real friendships with students who are serious about their faith.

Student Life Center

What we study: The Gospel Project

A Christ-centered, chronological Bible study that walks students through the full storyline of Scripture — Genesis to Revelation — over three years. Students discover how Christ connects every part of the Bible and what the gospel means for everyday life.

Meet Jeremiah Scott

Jeremiah Scott

High School & College Pastor

Jeremiah joined The Glade Church in August 2024. His heart for the Lord is evident the moment you hear him open God's Word. He's been spotted painted blue at a WCHS tailgate and fully committed to a Jack Sparrow costume — his family is amazing and so is his ministry.

Discipleship

These groups exist to glorify God through the discipleship of our sons by modeling discipleship ourselves. Fathers and mentors do life together, grow together, and pour into the next generation — the way it was always meant to work.
