Waters Edge Students exist to change the way Students think about church!

We want to help students know Jesus, connect with their Student Leader and other Students their age in life-giving community, discover their purpose, and make a difference.

Every Wednesday

7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Each week, our Students get together in small groups led by a Student Group Leader. Groups are split up by grade and gender. While Students experience life-giving community, they discuss Sunday’s message and learn how to apply God’s Word to their lives.

Doors open at 7:00 PM for Students to hang out in the lobby with their friends and play games. At 7:30 PM Students are dismissed to their small group.

Sundays title

We live for Sundays!! We love it when Students attend service on Sundays. It helps them engage more with their Wednesday Night curriculum and plays a crucial role in helping them grow in their faith.

We encourage all Students to sit in the front row, middle section at each of our campuses. Students set the tone for worship and engaging in the message each week.

Volunteering title

Our students love volunteering each week, whether it's with kids, production, or guest experience. At WEC, we believe this is a great way for them to discover their purpose.

We encourage all Students to attend a service and volunteer a service. It’s so easy to get engaged. Check out your options!
