Elevate Student Ministry exists to equip students to be committed disciple-makers of Jesus Christ.
When Does Elevate Meet?
WEDNESDAY NIGHTS DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR
We believe that God created us to follow Jesus together. Wednesday nights provide your student with an opportunity to worship, listen to a relevant message, and meet and pray with a small group with other students their own age and gender. Every Wednesday night. Offered for students grades 6th-12th.
SUNDAY MORNINGS AT THE LODGE
(Available at the Granbury Campus)
At Granbury, The Lodge is right next to the Coffee House in the main hall. Services in The Lodge are offered for 5th graders, and take place at 9:30 & 11:15am.

How to care for a teenager struggling with mental health
- Actively LISTEN!
- Take the student seriously :: We don’t always know the burdens our students bear, and normalizing the way a student feels will make them feel less alone
- Be nonjudgmental :: People with depression judge themselves every day, and we have an opportunity to communicate grace and patience
WHAT NOT TO SAY
- “You’ll snap out of it.” “Just think positive.” “Don’t be so sad, nothing is all that bad.”
WHAT TO SAY
- “I am here for you.” “How can I pray for you?” “Let’s hang out!”
