Wednesday Nights - Midweek Student Service

As a student ministry, our goal on Sunday mornings is to not only gather together in community through Life Groups, but also teach students how to be obedient Christ followers. Throughout the Bible, there is a theme of God calling His people to obedience through the reading, studying, and practice of His Word. James 1:22 says, "But be doers of the word, and not hearers only," meaning it does the believer no good to merely read God's commands without putting them into practice. Life Groups is a place where students not only learn to study Scripture, but practice it in their lives. 

Life Groups are split by grade and gender, led by an adult, and nurture an environment of biblical community with the goal of encountering Christ and His word, learning to practically apply it every day.

<h3><a href="https://longhollow.com/gallatin-schedule-and-directions" target="_blank">Gallatin</a></h3>
Student Life Groups are offered at 9AM in the <a href="https://rock.longhollow.com/Content/Gallatin-Exterior-Map.pdf" target="_blank">Student Building</a>.

Student Life Groups are offered at 8, 9:30 and 11:15AM in the <a href="https://rock.longhollow.com/Content/Outside-Map.pdf" target="_blank">Student Building</a>.

If you have questions or need more information, contact Sheph Leonard for Middle School at <a href="mailto:sheph.leonard@longhollow.com" target="_blank">sheph.leonard@longhollow.com</a> and Grant Allen for High School at <a href="mailto:grant.allen@longhollow.com" target="_blank">grant.allen@longhollow.com</a>.

One of the best way for students to grow with others is to join a student Life Group on a regular basis.
