Connecting Students to Jesus
WEEKLY ACTIVITIES
THE LANDING
Every other Sunday from 6 - 8 pm, 6th - 12th grade students can join us in the Hangar for the Landing. While together, we will play games, hang out with friends, worship our God, and hear a message that is relevant to the lives of students today.
Come check it out and bring a friend!
LIFE GROUPS
Student Life Groups are small groups of students living out the Gospel together led by dedicated adults who care about them. Leaders want to see them connected to the extraordinary life found in Jesus, becoming students that get the life, experience it, and give it away. Groups meet regularly to grow in faith as disciples and as friends and will have opportunities to serve throughout the year. Student Life Groups are formed by age and gender. The groups decide when to meet, but usually every other week.
Student Discipleship Pathway
Student Milestones
SACRAMENTS CLASS
This class is for 6th grade and above, and is required prior to taking communion, and instructs students on baptism and the Lord’s Supper. At this class, each student will be presented with a catechism to use in conversation with their parents.
ROOTED
Rooted for students is a step along the discipleship pathway that parallels the adult version of Rooted. This is required to be included as a communicant member at Faith Oakville and the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. This journey provides the opportunity to become rooted in Christ through faithful experiences and community. In addition to three readings per week, students will have a weekly challenge, a verbal testimony, and a way to encourage conversations about faith at home. Topics include:
• The Christian Narrative
• Prayer
• Worldly worries
• Personal temptations
• Serving
• Spiritual gifts
• Stewardship
• Sharing your story
• The Church
GROUNDED
This is for students in late middle school and early high school who have taken the next step in following Jesus and getting connected to a student life group. Grounded is a seven-part series that Student Life groups walk through together to dive deeper into Lutheran Doctrine with the Small Catechism and meet regularly for instruction, discussion, and prayer. Topics include:
• Introduction
• Holy Scripture
• Ten Commandments
• The Creed(s)
• The Lord's Prayer
• Sacraments
• Christian Living

MENTORSHIP
During their senior year, students are encouraged to identify one mentor with whom they can meet regularly and feel comfortable sharing. The intent is that this person is a resource for them as they transition into adulthood and life beyond high school.
GRADUATE RECOGNITION
The graduates receive a blessing in church and are presented with a resource to help as they transition to life beyond high school.
