Our Philosophy

For student ministry, we believe that SIMPLE is better. Here’s where we spend our focus so kids can grasp the truth’s of God’s Word:

  • Student-Led Worship

  • Relevant Teaching (Usually through books of the Bible)

  • Small Group Discussion (High School with HS, MS with Middle School, Boys with Boys, Girls with Girls)

  • Student Retreats, Trips, Service Projects, and Game Nights

Students in Okoboji

Middle School

We provide Middle School specific Peer Groups for discussion and growth. These groups are usually divided up as BOYS and GIRLS to allow for appropriate discussion and friendship building.

Our Middle School Ministry meets on Wednesday Nights, starting at 6:30P and ending at 8P.

High School

We are blessed to serve a number of high schools at Good News and combine our high school groups into one large peer group to see them as one student body advancing the mission of Jesus.

Our High School Ministry meets on Wednesday Nights, starting at 6:30P and ending at 8P.
