Temple Students exists to grow disciples of Jesus Christ within the context of an age-specific community. We strive to provide solid biblical teaching along with opportunities to grow in authentic relationships. As Kingdom Seekers, we aim to: Worship God, Live by the Bible, Pray Continually, Serve Others, Share Joyfully, Meet Together, and Make Jesus Known. We believe that the Lord calls each of us to be growing in these attributes, and so  all of our events will be for these goals and purposes. Whether you've been following Jesus for years or whether you have questions about the faith and are looking for a welcoming community to plug into, we'd love to meet you!

The first Sunday night of each month, we gather as a student ministry to share a meal together, play games, and go deeper in our faith. Each D-Night will be slightly different, but will all include dinner, so come hungry! Each night's goal is to provide opportunities for students to grow deeper as disciples within their community, as well as build deeper relationships within their individual small groups. Join us for April's D-Night on Sunday the 6th for dinner, games, and small groups to dig deeper.

We are gathering in the Student Room from 6-8pm for a Midweek Dating Series all about a biblical perspective on marriage, dating, relationships, and purity. Interested in finding out what it means to think about dating in a way that glorifies God? Join us in the Student Room each Wednesday from 6-8pm. Families are also more than welcome to come- we have a main service with worship and teaching from 6-7, with several adult small groups taking place from 7-8pm.  Our team is working through what Wednesday nights will look like following the completion of this series, so stay tuned for that. 

Join uur student ministry throughout the month of March as we learn what it means and looks like to Serve Like Jesus within our local community. We will have a Team Kick-Off on February 28th, followed by four Serve Saturdays with the following ministries: Temple Church, Camp Vandemere in Pamlico County, the Kennedy Home in Kinston, and Baptists on Mission in New Bern. 

This summer, we will be heading to Fort Caswell for a Summer Youth Week with BeDoTell! We have attended several of BeDoTell's Fall Retreats in the past, and have been highly encouraged by the way they meet students where they're at with energy, love, and compassion, all while spurring on all who attend to follow Jesus more wholeheartedly. The theme for 2025 is "Remain" and we invite you to follow the link for more information! https://bedotell.com/summer-camp/ This week will be full of lots of large group sports/games, pool time, beach time, daily quiet times, church and small group devotions, and more. ***Remaining spots for camp are EXTREMELY limited. Please contact our team ASAP if you/your student is still interested in attending!

We are headed to Camp Vandemere with our March Serve Month Team to celebrate all that God has done and learn what it means to be SENT into the world to Serve Like Jesus.
