The Student Ministry of Christ Church seeks to assist parents in their responsibility of raising godly children. We firmly believe the Bible teaches that parents are the primary spiritual leaders in their children lives and everything we do – we do as a desire to supplement the spiritual instruction and example they should already be receiving at home.
Philosophy of Ministry The foundation of the Student Ministry is to give God the glory He deserves (Worship). By investing our lives in others (Ministry), we aim to equip students with the Word of God (Discipleship), unite them with the body of Christ (Fellowship) and challenge them to reach unbelievers with His life changing truths (Evangelism).
What we offer weekly: Sunday Seminar and PrimeTime Sunday Seminar (Nine Fifteen until Ten Fifteen o'clock in the morning) - Sunday (sun’da, -de): the first day of the week: also called the "Sabbath" or "the Lord’s Day."
- Seminar (sem’e nar’): a group of supervised students doing advanced studies.
- This seminar is an excellent way to start out the week and an awesome environment for a teenager to meet new friends and grow in their trust in Christ. Each lesson is very engaging and encourages a lot of group discussion as you advance deeper into God’s Word.
PrimeTime (Four Fifteen until Five Forty Five o'clock in the evening) - PrimeTime, welcomes all junior and senior high students (7th - 12th grade) to participate. Come meet new friends and have fun as we make a joyful noise, hear God's Word taught in a way that makes sense and beome a part of a small group discussion helping you apply what you heard to your life. You do not want to miss this time! Parents are always welcome to attend. Come see for yourself or check out our Student Ministry page for more information.
Sunday Seminar and PrimeTime are designed to meet the spiritual needs of students in 7th to 12th grade and both meet in the Student Ministry Room at Christ Church. To Learn more about these weekly offerings or to find out what is being taught, please contact the Student Ministry office at 803-254-5055. And just so you know, parents are always welcome to attend Sunday Seminar or PrimeTime (even unannounced) just to see what we are all about!
What we offer seasonally: D-Groups
D-groups - D-groups is short for discipleship groups and it is another opportunity we provide for your child to grow to maturity in their trusting in Christ. D-groups are led by various members of the Youth Staff throughout the year and are conveniently scheduled at a day/time of the week that works for you and your family.
What we offer monthly: Special Events Special Events -
Every special event we host or promote embodies our philosophy of ministry. Some of our events are designed entirely for fellowship – an opportunity for young people to meet and get to know other Christian youth. Other special events have more of an evangelism or ministry goal – an opportunity foryouth to share their faith and serve others with their God given spiritual gifts. Regardless of what we do, we trust that God is given the glory due His name and that you as a parent are comfortable with your child’s participation. -
Some examples of past special events are: weekend advances, paintball, bowling, mini-golf, skiing, mission projects (Keswick, England, Mississippi and Columbia), parties, work projects, movies, rock climbing, sky diving, and much more! To find out what, where & when our next special event is, please contact our Director of Student Ministries, Mr. Rodney (Rod) Arters ( EMAIL) or you may call the Student Ministry office, 803-254-5055.

Parent Meetings - Several times a year we host a meeting just for parents.

We will discuss our calendar as well as allow you an opportunity to voice your suggestins, questions, and concerns. To find out when our next Parent’s meeting is - e-mail us!
S.A.M. (Spiritual Assessment Meeting) - At least once a year school teachers will meet with parents of their students to discuss their student’s academic progress over the course of the year.
