Learn more about Rhiza Students

Rhiza Students meet 4:30pm-6pm every Sunday afternoon. Every gathering is built to help teens feel welcomed, connected, and rooted in God’s love. Middle and high school students experience authentic community, conversations that matter, moments to grow in faith, and teaching that speaks directly to their world. Here, worship feels like home. Bible truth is relatable, Jesus is central, and faith gets real, helping students learn that following God starts with love, grows through truth, and takes shape through purpose, friendship, and worship. Expect a place where students can be themselves, belong deeply, and grow roots that last.

What to Expect on Sundays & Student Gatherings

At Rhiza, we design gatherings that meet teens in their real life. Each week includes relevant, age-focused Bible teaching led by caring, background-checked leaders and passionate volunteers who make God’s story understandable, meaningful, and personal.

Students will experience guided prayer, engaging conversations, team-based activities, and worship moments that inspire faith without forcing it. Teens don’t just learn about God, they learn to talk to Him too, share life with others, and discover how their faith fits into their purpose.

Parents Are Primary

We believe the strongest faith roots are grown long before and long after a weekend gathering, and no voice shapes a student’s world more than their parents. Rhiza exists to walk alongside families, empowering you to lead the faith conversations at home with love and confidence. The teenage years can feel noisy, complicated, and fast, but you’re not doing it alone. Every week, Rhiza Students creates safe environments for teens to explore Jesus, grow in faith, and build friendships that anchor them. We also provide simple tools, discipleship pathways, and ongoing support to help parents and students grow in faith together, with Jesus as the foundation, and love as our starting point. You’ve got what it takes. We’re here to help those roots grow strong.
