Students

Welcome NorthPoint Students

NorthPoint Students is all about belonging. It’s a place where every student can look to Jesus, find real community, and learn how to engage the world around them. Students experience this through weekly gatherings, small groups, retreats, events, and serving opportunities that make faith real and friendships strong.

Venture at NorthPoint (Wednesdays during the school year)
• Middle School (Grades 6–8): 6:15–8:15 PM
• High School (Grades 9–12): 6:45–8:45 PM

These nights are built for students to:

Grow through biblical teaching
Build relationships through intentional discipleship in small groups
Engage in musical worship
Have a ton of fun together

Come find your place! Venture at NorthPoint is where faith and friendships grow!

Stay Connected

NorthPoint Students is more than a weekly gathering—it’s a community. We want students and families to stay connected to everything happening throughout the year, from Wednesday nights and small groups to special events, retreats, and serving opportunities.

Here’s how you can stay in the loop:

• Follow us on Instagram for updates, photos, and reminders. @northpointdsmstudents

• Reach out to our team anytime with questions; we’d love to connect with you.

Student Missions

Upcoming Mission: July 6-12, 2025

Jesus calls us to love and serve others, just as He demonstrated through His life and teaching. Missions give us the chance to follow His example—whether by serving locally or in communities around the world. Student missions experiences aren’t only about helping others and having fun (though, we certainly will!); they also transform and disciple us.
