Family Ministry for Students (Grades 6–12)
At Highland Oaks Church of Christ, our Family Ministry for Students is built around the discipleship habits of the TABLE—a place where students and their families gather to experience life with Jesus in meaningful ways.
What We Do:
- Share Meals – We believe that something sacred happens when we sit down together. Every gathering includes delicious, home-cooked meals that nourish both body and soul.
- Grow in Friendship – Life is better in community. We create space for students and families to build authentic relationships that last.
- Listen to God’s Word – Through Scripture and the world around us, we train our hearts to hear God’s voice and respond faithfully.
Why It Matters: Our ministry is a refuge - a safe and welcoming place where students and families can grow into the transformative story of Jesus: crucified, resurrected, and alive in us today.
Join Us: Whether you’re looking for connection, spiritual growth, or a place to belong, we invite you to pull up a chair at the TABLE. Together, we’ll discover what it means to follow Jesus in everyday life.
At Highland Oaks Church of Christ, your student will find a place to belong.
They’ll be welcomed into the life of our church, building meaningful relationships with caring adult mentors and sharing their unique gifts during weekly Sunday worship.
Our church family is the perfect size to ensure that both you and your student are seen, known, and loved by an affectionate congregation that embraces you just as you are.
At Highland Oaks, belonging comes before belief. Through authentic relationships and shared experiences, we journey together to become the people God calls us to be.

Retreats
Each spring and fall we have a Weekend Retreat.
Mystery Trips
During the spring semester, we depart on a weekend Mystery Trip to an undisclosed location so that students may experience the mystery of God, while having a ton of fun and building close friendships.
Student Family Cookout
Each spring and fall we have a Student Family Cookout, in which we eat life-changing homemade food while exploring themes of Scripture. We eat good together!
Over the summer we host a weeklong Backpack Trip up a Colorado mountain and experience God together in nature.
