We desire for our students to hear the Gospel, be changed by the Gospel, and live out the Gospel! Our staff and leaders partner to create an environment for students to feel welcomed and comfortable as they hear the Gospel and are discipled while navigating life.

Warehouse Student Ministry is for all students in 6th-12th grade. We provide weekly events; on Sunday night, we have Breakaway from 4:30-6:30, and D-Groups on Wednesday night from 6:00-8:00. We also have several special themed events, retreats, camps, etc., throughout the year to engage students in fellowship and spiritual development.  

Roots Summer Bible Study is for all Warehouse students 6th-12th grade and will meet most Monday nights from 6:00-7:30pm in The Warehouse. Join us for bible study, food, and fellowship! Roots will keep students engaged in God's Word and in Christ-centered community with other students over the summer.

These events are a great way to invite your friends and neighbors to get to know the Pinewood Family in a fun environment! Mark your calendars to join us for any or all of our summer events! See our calendar below for more information.

We gather on Wednesday nights from 6:00-8:00 in the Warehouse for D-Groups. The night is comprised of free time, big group gym games, stage games, and D-Groups. The main emphasis on Wednesday nights is D-Groups. D-Groups are split up by grade and gender, and a full hour of the evening is spent with their leader and group in a small group setting.

D-Groups, or discipleship groups, are the most important thing we do in student ministry. Discipleship has two equally important components: truth and relationships. The truth taught in D-Groups is founded on God’s inerrant and infallible Word, where we discover absolute truth. We emphasize the relational side of discipleship through relationship building between our D-Group Leaders and their students. Leaders walk alongside their students through life and provide biblical guidance and direction as they navigate these dynamic years of their lives. Our leaders will stay with their groups from 6th grade until 12th grade so that they are building a trustworthy relationship that is founded on the truth of God’s Word. We desire each student to have not only the Warehouse Staff but also D-Group leaders who point them to the truth of God’s Word and walk through life with them.

Breakaway meets weekly from 4:30-6:30 on Sunday Nights. This event is similar to a traditional youth group or service. It includes gym games, weekly announcements, a worship service comprised of music and study of God’s Word, and finishes with breakout prayer groups. Our student leadership team, CREW, plans and leads much of the night. Students can bring $2 for pizza for dinner.

Breakaway is an excellent opportunity for our students to grow a larger Christian community; a time for our students to build relationships with other students in our ministry. Through free time, big group games in the gym, worshiping together through music,  the reading and studying of God's Word, and time in small groups where we pray with and for each other, it is our goal that students will develop new connections and ultimately grow in relationship with others and with Christ. Breakaway is led by CREW Student Leadership, the Warehouse band, and the Warehouse Staff.
