At Wayzata Community Church, High School Ministry is an important part of our Family Ministries mission — nurturing faith at every stage of life and creating space for students to grow into who God is calling them to be.

High school is a time of deeper questions, growing independence, and shaping identity and purpose. We offer fun, meaningful programming designed to meet students right where they are — creating a community where they can explore faith, build authentic relationships, and discover what it means to follow Jesus in everyday life.

Supported by a dedicated team of staff and volunteers, our ministry blends conversation, worship, service, and shared experiences to help students develop a faith that is both personal and lasting. We strive to be a loving, accepting community of searchers — where questions are welcomed, doubts are honored, and everyone is encouraged to grow together and learn from one another.

At WCC, we believe in the inclusive, life-affirming, and faith-forming love of Jesus. You will be accepted and celebrated for the unique, unrepeatable person you are as we walk alongside one another on our individual faith journeys.

Our Values

Love: Experiencing and sharing the radically inclusive love of God.

Belong: Creating space to discover and be who God created you to be.

Grow: Equipping students with tools for a lifetime of faith exploration.

Do: Inspiring a commitment to love, justice, and service in the world.

We are an inclusive community where students of all abilities can fully participate, find a sense of belonging, and be part of something meaningful. We also partner with families, offering connection and support as faith continues to grow at home and in community.
