Rooted Retreat
Rooted is our pastor/student apologetics retreat that began in 2012. Pastor Wyman leads us through different aspects of apologetics as he gives us tools to defend our faith. This is a weekend our students look forward to each year. Location changes from year to year, but you can count on bon fires, great food, and great worship.
Student Missions
Over the past several years, CSM has taken mission trips to Seattle, Long Island, Texas, and Honduras. This summer there is an intergenerational mission trip scheduled for Honduras June 6-13. It will be opened to high school students and adults from across the church. We also have afternoon or one-day projects throughout the year.
MidWeek Student Worship
Students meet on Wednesday nights in the Underground. Our midweek gathering consists of the teaching of God’s Word, worship, fellowship, and small group discipleship. 7th-12th grade students meet from 6:00pm-7:30pm. Doors open at 5:00pm.
MidWeek Series
We want students to hear God’s word through biblical teaching, understand how to apply it through intentional conversations, practice living it out through discipleship and missions, so that they would graduate from our student ministry owning their faith with the confidence of Christ.
Currently, our Wednesday night messages are focusing on serving others.
Week 1: Noticing Others Needs
Week 2: Open Your Hands
Week 3: Use Your Gifts
Week 4: Share Your Joy
Sunday School Groups
Sunday School Sundays at 9:00am we split into small groups for fellowship and Bible study. Each Sunday School class is divided by gender and grouped by grades.
SUPER SUMMER
Summer Camp – Every summer we spend a week as a group. Over the past few years, CSM has enjoyed camp in Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas. For Summer 2020 we will be attending Super Summer Arkansas located on the campus of Ouachita Baptist University. See more at www.supersummerarkansas.com
