At Dutilh Student Ministry, we’re all about creating a space where students can hit the "reset" button. We know life is loud, so we’ve built a community where you can recharge, find your energy, and dive deeper into your faith.

Here, you aren’t just a face in the crowd—you’re known by name and loved exactly as you are. Our goal is to empower you to follow Jesus alongside mentors who actually "get it." Through real conversations, high-energy worship, and mission trips, we help you navigate the messy middle-school and high-school years (7th-12th grade). It’s all about discovering the one thing that truly satisfies: a life centered on Jesus.

Series Overview – The Easter story is something we celebrate every year, but when was the last time you really thought about what it means for you today? Before Easter morning, there was darkness, grief, and emptiness as Jesus’ followers watched him die. But then, Jesus came back to life, and everything changed for good! In this 2-week series from the Gospels and Epistles, we’ll discover the resurrection didn’t end on Easter Sunday- Jesus is still bringing us more life every day. We’ll see that you can trust God when you’re feeling empty because Jesus’ death wasn’t the end, and you can believe that Jesus can give you new life because resurrection is what Easter is all about.

🔥 Not Just Another Sunday Night...

Do you ever feel like you’re just blending into the crowd? Like you’re following the same script as everyone else?

📖 Being a Holy Teenager: A Study of James 1

We’re diving into a brand-new 4-part series that flips the script on what "holiness" actually means. Forget the stereotypes of being "boring" or "perfect." True holiness is about being set apart by God for a special purpose.

Join Isaac Parkinson as we break down the book of James and discover how to live with intention, grit, and faith in a world that’s constantly trying to pull you in a thousand different directions.

🗓️ The Details

• What: A 4-part deep dive into James 1.

• Who: All students in 7th-12th grade are welcome!

• Led By: Isaac Parkinson.

• When: Select Sunday Nights (Check the schedule above).

Why show up?

Because you weren't meant to just "get through" your teen years. You were meant to be a catalyst. Come find out what it looks like to be set apart for a purpose that actually matters.

"But be doers of the word, and not hearers only..." — James 1:22

See you Sunday nights!
