Who we are: 

Here at First Ruston our goal is not to just have a student ministry, but a student ministry with a purpose. With First Students we strive to give our students an opportunity to encounter God in some pretty amazing ways. We have weekly connection groups, a midweek service, and a student leadership team where the students have a lead role in serving this community. We want students to walk through the door and know that there is a God who loves them, and then turn around and share that love with their friends and family. We strive to reach a wide variety of students from all walks of life, show them Christ and encourage them in their walk. So no matter your interests or passions, we have a place for you at First Students!

         

What are Connection Groups? 

Connection Groups @ 9:45 AM – 10:45 am on Sunday 

Location: High school in the PowerHouse / Middle School on the 2nd floor of the Walter's Building 

Interested in joining a group of your peers and walking through scripture? Then do we have the place for you! Each Sunday morning at 10:00 am we have small groups that are meeting and studying the Word of God. Every group has two adult leaders who are excited to teach their students and answer any questions about the Lord or life in general. Our objective with connection groups is connect you relationally with each other, have accountability in your daily walk with Christ, and dive deeper into the truth presented each week. Allow connection groups to become a part of your Sunday routine.

Do you offer any Mid-week activities for students?

Encounter is our midweek service on Wednesdays. There our objective is simple. We want students to Encounter Christ, Encounter Community, and Encounter Culture. This service is open to all students grades 6th to 12th from any schools around the area. The schedule for Encounter is pretty easy. We hangout, eat some food (made and served from our wonderful student leadership team) and then move into our worship space. Our worship time consists of worship (led by our college ministry) and a talk that is given by our staff. Talk series that we are going through can be found on the instagram or church website.

Last Students is the name of our student leadership team. Taken from Matthew 20:16 we want to focus on serving with the grace of God at the heart of everything. From registration, greeting, food services, to sound, video and lights. It's all student run. Our leaders are passionate about their relationship with the Lord and serving Him by serving others. Opportunities to serve on this team open up in the summer right before school starts back up. Please pray about joining this fun and unique squad.
