Woodlawn Students (6th-12th grade) exists to REACH students with the Gospel, CONNECT students with other students and leaders, INVEST in their spiritual growth, & LAUNCH faithful servants of Jesus Christ.
We would love to see you and your family visit Woodlawn Students. Our weekly meetings (Wednesdays from 5-7pm) are designed for students to connect with God through fellowship, Worship, and relevant teaching. Students will be challenged to see what it means to live like Jesus every day and bring God's hope to their friends!
YOUR FIRST VISIT
Here's what to expect when visiting Woodlawn Students for the first time:
Parents aren't required to accompany their student to check in, but they are certainly welcome! There we will meet your student, check them into our system, and then one of our volunteers will help them join their group.
Upon checking in for the first time, we will ask for the following personal information (NOTE: We value your privacy and will not share this information with anyone):
- Parent/guardian name(s)
- Child's name
- Child's birthdate
- Home address
- Phone number
- Any special instructions (allergies, special needs) for your children
HOW CHECK-IN WORKS
When you arrive: You can check in at our Connect desk. One of our leaders will give you a contact card to fill out. This one-time-only card allows someone from our team to connect with you.
After Service: After our service is complete, you can return to the Youth/CR Building to pick up your child. Students that are driving age can leave without a parent.
Meet our Student Pastor!
Farrah Petski is one of our Pastors on staff. She serves with our Student Ministry (6th-12th grade) as well as our College Ministry (18-25 year olds). Farrah holds a bachelor’s degree from Samford University and a Master of Divinity degree from Asbury Theological Seminary. She joined our team in 2021. She and her husband Trevor met while serving together here at Woodlawn. Farrah is passionate about investing in this next generation and seeing students come to know Jesus on a personal level.
Woodlawn College Ministry (18–25-year-olds) officially launched in October 2024 as we saw a growing need for our young adults to find a place to belong. This ministry meets Wednesday night from 7:45-9:30pm in our Youth/CR Building. Our college group is designed for young adults to connect with each other and grow deeper in their faith as they navigate this new stage of life.
