About DSM
At Dutilh Church we provide our students with a place where they can recharge, re-energize, and renew their faith journey. We seek to create a place where our students are known by name, loved for who they are, and empowered to follow Jesus in an environment where caring adults help them grow through these difficult transitional years by being there for them, setting an example, and sharing in life together.
Through Biblical teachings, contemporary Christian music, Bible studies, small groups, serving in the community, outreach programs and missions, students can discover the only thing that will fill their hearts in a lasting way - Jesus Christ!
Series Overview – What are you made for? We’ve all wondered who we are, what makes us unique, and how we’re supposed to make a difference in the world. It’s easy to feel like our interests and talents are just random, but the truth is that God created each of us with a purpose to do amazing things. In this 4-week series from the Old and New Testaments, we’ll see that you’re made to know God and how the things you love might be exactly how God works through you because you’re made to be a light, to lead, and to make a difference.

This summer our DSM students have two amazing opportunities to serve and grow in faith — in Orlando, FL (June 20–27) and at Uth 4 Mission in Jumonville (August 3–7).
From leading VBS and completing small renovation projects to prayer walks and food distribution, these trips give students a chance to be the hands and feet of Jesus while building lifelong connections.
