The Lord created us for community, so we strive to provide our 6th-12th grade students with a positive environment for growing their faith together. Students learn from amazing volunteers, gather in worship, grow through service, and build life-long Christ-centered relationships through our Student Ministry.

Covenant Student Ministries

Looking for a place where your 6th-12th grader can grow in faith, build friendships, and have a blast? Covenant Student Ministries (CSM) is where they can come and make friendships that will last a lifetime!

Sunday Mornings (9–10 AM) – Start your week off right with Bible study and discussion! This summer we’ll meet in the Garage (second level of the upper wing). It’s a great time to dive deeper into scripture and grow in understanding together.

Wednesday Night Youth Group (6-7:30 PM) – Calling at 6th-12th grade students! Join us in the “Garage” upstairs at Covenant for Youth Group. We can’t want to see what the Lord has in store for our youth disciples this year.

Have questions about CSM? Want to get connected? Reach out to our Director of Youth & Family, Pastor Robert Ekis, at robert.ekis@covhsv.org. We’d love to see you there!

Why CSM?

All of us are looking for acceptance, meaning, and a bright future. At CSM, we believe you can find that acceptance and meaning through friendship with God and others. Friendships determine the direction and quality of your life. We have a 3-step process to help you find this acceptance and meaning.

THREE WAYS TO MAKE FRIENDSHIPS THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME

Be Consistent. Great friendships don’t happen overnight. They take time. Make a commitment to join us each Wednesday night and Sunday morning as often as you can!
Attend an off-campus event. We have many opportunities for service and fellowship in our local community. Each year we also have 2 big overnight events. They include Generate Conference and Generate Beach Camp. There’s no better time to make incredible friendships than an off-campus event!
Invite friends. As God begins to shape and transform your life through your friends, invite others to be a part of what God is doing at CSM. God not only wants to be a blessing to you, but to also use you to be a blessing to others!

If you can be consistent on Wednesday nights, join a small group, and attend at least one overnight event, you will have friendships that will last a lifetime!

Throughout the Year:

Our goal is to have a well rounded program for our middle and high school students. Throughout the year you can expect for youth to have the following opportunities:

Service projects: Throughout the year, we set up and carry out projects where our youth have the chance to take part in some of the physical work of caring for God’s people. We have worked with the Huntsville Assistance Program, Free2Teach, Next Step Farms, and other small projects as they come up.
Fun Fellowship: Our youth often go out as a group to have some fun and build better friendships. Past activities have included, hiking, bowling, ice cream, Top Golf, movies, dinner, canoe trips, and many other things that our students come up with.
Mission Trips: Mission Trips: Each summer our 6th-12th grade students have the opportunity to go on a short-term mission trip or retreat. For the summer of 2023, our youth went to Louisville, KY and in 2024 they went to camp in Cleveland, TN. This past spring went to Birmingham, AL to attend the Generate, and this summer we had a blast at Beach Camp!
