middle school

OHSM is designed to help middle school students grow in their faith, their character, and their relationships. It’s about creating an atmosphere where they can belong. We encourage the students of OHBC to be involved in everything we do from inviting friends, participating in a life group, and serving on a team such as our student or adult worship teams. 


Furthermore, in Student Ministries we love to have FUN! Along with our annual trip to Minneapolis (where we visit the Mall of America and go to a Twins baseball game) we also attend Camp Judson in the summer. We play crazy games and enjoy a lot of fun activities such as riding go-karts at Thunder Road, ice blocking at Tuthill Park, playing broomball at the
Scheels Ice Plex, or turning the gym into a giant nerf gun arena. 


However, the main goal in Student Ministries is see students take a step toward owning their faith and joining God on His mission. Therefore, our philosophy is to have a healthy  balance between seriousness and fun.


wednesday nights

Wednesday nights serve as our rally point each week of the school year. We have middle school students in many different schools all over the city and Wednesday nights are our time to come together for snacks, fellowship, fun, worship & preaching. Arguably, the most valuable time during our Wednesday nights will take place when we split into different age and gender specific life groups led by adults who are a part of our Student Ministry Adult Staff. Life groups are the core of what we do on Wednesday night because they not only help individual students take steps toward Jesus, but they foster a healthy environment for students to deeply examine truth, discuss hard topics/issues and develop a community of same gender/age believers. Life groups also provide students with a role model(s) and soundboard to life as this time creates space for students to feel connected, be known and heard. 


Middle School students gather on Wednesdays from 6:30-7:45pm

and we would love to have you here!
