New 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.
That's down the hallway at the opposite end from the Worship Center. Want to plan ahead? Email David and he'll make sure your first visit is a great one.
When we gather
Both gatherings are held in The District, down the hallway at the opposite end from the Worship Center.
Sunday Mornings
We start with a group rally, then break into grade-level small groups of boys and girls, a time for students to build deep relationships, share life together, dive into Scripture, and pray.
The DistrictWednesday Evenings
Hang-out time starts at 5:30 PM, then at 6:30 students head into The District for worship, relevant preaching, and real connection. Stick around after, there's usually something fun planned too.
The DistrictA 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.

Get in touchDiscipleship
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.
Get involved
Our ministry runs on volunteers who show up week after week to invest in students. If God is stirring something in you, start here.
What's coming up
There will be no grade-level groups or adult groups meeting this weekend during the 9:15 and 10:45 AM services. There will be Preschool classes available during the 9:15am service only.
