Thornapple’s Student Ministry enables students to grow in their faith, challenges them to serve others and honor God with their life and helps them to connect with other students. Student Ministries includes High School (9th through 12th grade) and Middle School (6th through 8th grade). We offer opportunities to learn, grow and build relationships on Sunday mornings/evenings, Wednesday evenings and other times throughout the year (retreats, mission trips, service projects, bike/hike trips and other activities). Also, you might notice we like food!
