How We Connect

Wednesday Nights

Each Wednesday night, students join together to hang out, worship, and hear a message with a Biblical foundation and a practical application. Whether a student has grown up in church or has never set foot inside a church, Wednesday nights are a safe place for students to come and know they belong.

For more details on when your campus meets, check out the FAQ section at the bottom of this page!

D-Groups

Each FSM small group (known as Discipleship Groups, or D-Groups) is based on grade and gender. These groups meet throughout the week to help students grow in their understanding of the Bible and practice of Scriptures as well as create a community with their group leader and other participants.

We welcome you to join other students as we learn about Jesus Christ and His example. Fill out the D-Group form, and someone with FSM will be in touch.

What safety measures do you have in place?

The safety of our students is our top priority. All of our staff and volunteer leaders go through thorough background checks, MinistrySafe training, interviews, and safety policy training. We also have campus-specific emergency maps and plans that have been designed by emergency planning professionals. These safety measures are revisited throughout the year to ensure staff and leaders are well prepared. If you have any other specific questions, please reach out to your campus’ students pastor.
