Although our church may seem big, we strive to make it feel smaller and more personal for Middle School students through small groups, ministry events, student leadership, camps, activities, and more. We want your student to feel at home in our Middle School Ministry!
Join us for fellowship, worship, and a message on Sunday mornings at 9:00 am in the Middle School Ministry Room. Please note we only have ONE Sunday morning service for middle school students. We have a reserved section in the Worship Center for any students who want to sit with us. Students are also welcome to sit with their families.
Once a month, we have "Saturday Night Fun," an event where we go to church together at 5:00 pm and do a fun event afterwards. We will do things such as: Nerf Wars, Handels ice cream, kick ball tournaments, and so much more. This is a great opportunity to have fellowship and invite new friends!

Baptism is the first step of obedience in the life of a Christian (Matt. 28:18 – 20). It's also a way for Christians to be publicly identified with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection (Rom. 6:3 – 4). Baptism does not bring salvation (Eph. 2:8 – 9), but symbolizes our new life, much like a wedding ring symbolizes ones marital status. You may have questions. We are here to help you along the way.
Baptism ceremonies are done differently all over the world (just like weddings and other ceremonies). Here is how we do it at Shadow Mountain:
