About DSM

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 – Have you ever had a conversation that opened your eyes to something you’d never thought about before? Or maybe someone asked you a single question that completely shifted your perspective. Words have the power to change everything, and that’s never been truer than with Jesus. He asked questions that changed people’s perspectives and prompted them to take another look at themselves, their lives, and their beliefs about God. In this 4-week series from the book of Luke, we’ll take a look at four big questions Jesus asked. Together, we'll ask: What can you trust Jesus with today? Where did you notice Jesus’ presence today? What can Jesus rescue you from today? How can you put Jesus’ words into practice today?

🔥 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).

  • Where: Conference Room

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!



🥞 Flippin’ Awesome: The DSM Pancake Breakfast!

Our annual Pancake Breakfast was an incredible success! To everyone who joined us, shared a meal, and cheered on our students—thank you. Your presence made the morning special, and your generosity has brought us one step closer to our goal.

Every dollar raised is directly fueling our upcoming Serve Orlando Mission Trip. While this breakfast was a milestone, the journey is just beginning, and there is still room for you to be part of this mission.

Will You Partner With Us?

It’s not too late to invest in these students and the lives they will touch in Florida. We are seeking two vital forms of support:

  1. Prayer: Please pray for our team’s safety, for open hearts in Orlando, and for our students to grow deeply in their faith through this experience.

  2. Financial Support: If you weren't able to make it to the breakfast—or if you feel led to give further—any donation goes directly toward trip costs and service materials.

Thank you for believing in our students and for being a vital part of this mission. We can’t wait to share the stories of what God does through your faithfulness!
