Gospel-Centered Teaching And Community For Students 6th-12th Grade

Student Ministry

Welcome to Shepherd Students

Shepherd Students is our ministry for students in 6th-12th grade. Our desire is for all our students to enter and abide in the fold of the Good Shepherd: Through His Word, with His Body, and for His Glory. We also work to partner with parents to disciple their teenagers for the glory of God and the good of their students. Shepherd Students is focused on the exposition of God’s Word and a strong connection to the Body. 6th-12th grades are critical years. Our weekly ministry environment is age/grade divided to create meaningful faith relationships through authentic discipleship, sound doctrine, and engaging programs. Each week, we utilize live-teaching and small-groups to strive for students’ progress and joy in the Gospel.

FAQ's About Student Ministry

Shepherd Groups at Shepherd Bible Church in Collierville, TN, are designed to bring people of all ages and life stages together in meaningful community. We believe that everyone, from children to adults, benefits from gathering in smaller, Christ-centered groups. That’s why we offer a variety of Shepherd Groups tailored to different needs, including men’s groups, women’s groups, couples’ groups, kids’ groups, and student groups.

Shepherd Groups are an essential part of how we grow in faith and build meaningful relationships within our church family. These groups meet bi-weekly in the homes of our group leaders, providing an intimate and welcoming environment for fellowship, prayer, and spiritual growth. Each gathering is an opportunity to dive deeper into God’s Word, share life’s joys and challenges, and encourage one another to live out the Gospel in practical ways. Whether you’re new to the church or have been a part of our community for years, Shepherd Groups offer a space where you can belong, be supported, and grow alongside others who are on the same journey of faith.

Shepherd Groups meet in various locations to accommodate all ages and life stages.

Groups for Adults: Our adult Shepherd Groups take place bi-weekly in the homes of our group leaders.

Groups for Kids: Groups for Kids are a part of our Shepherd Kids environment on Sunday mornings.

Groups for Students: Student Groups meet on campus every Wednesday evening as a part of our weekly environment for middle school and high school students.
