Student Ministries

Our student ministries supports and partners with Fauquier County Young Life to minister to 6th-12th grade students in our church and the surrounding community. Young Life is a fantastic national organization with a long standing history in this area, who partners and supports with many churches in our county by giving students and leaders another way to be in community, reach their friends for sake of the Gospel, and be discipled. Our Student Ministries Pastor, Rich Kendall, is also the Young Life Area Director for Fauquier County, which uniquely positions us for this wonderful partnership. Take a look below to know more about Middle School / Wyldlife and High School / Young Life.

Middle School & Wyldlife

Our middle school ministry gives students an opportunity to grow in their faith and relationship with Jesus Christ, through biblical teachings, small group discussions, and fun activities. This is a great space for students to make friends, ask questions, and build relationships with leaders who are passionate about helping point them to Jesus. Our middle schoolers meet during service on Sundays after worship downstairs, and we also promote and host various events throughout the year with Wyldlife to provide another avenue for our students to be in community and reach their friends for the sake of the Gospel. Wyldlife calendar can be found here!

High School & Younglife

Our high school ministry aims to equip students with a biblical perspective as they navigate teenage years, but also helps them develop a personal, active relationship with Jesus that they can communicate to others. We are committed to helping students discover how God has so uniquely and wonderfully made them and how they can make a difference, through Jesus. Our high schoolers meet every other Wednesday evening from 7-8:30pm for OTCC Campaigners, with messages specifically aimed to allow students to grow in their relationship with Christ. Young Life hosts various events throughout the year. Their calendar can be found here! We also host various fun events throughout the year. Young life meets over the course of the year and adds another avenue for our students to be in community and reach their friends for the Gospel.
