Student Ministry
Who We Are
Coram Deo Students is a place for junior high (6th–8th grade) and high school (9th–12th grade) students to come and awaken their passion for Christ while joining with other students who are seeking Him too. It’s our desire to grow together in relationship with Jesus, and live out our faith in a way that genuinely impacts those around us.
Coram Deo Students is...
- Christ-centered
- A ministry for students—not simply to students
- Committed to growing life-long, devoted disciples of Jesus Christ
- All about the family—we exist to equip and assist parents as they raise their students to have authentic faith
LIFT 2025
February 14–16, 2025
LIFT is a retreat without leaving town! This is a weekend for students to get away from the busyness of life to have fun, be challenged, connect with others, and deepen their relationship with Jesus. All 6th–12th grade students are invited to join us for this student discipleship weekend hosted right here at Coram Deo Bible Church!
Upcoming Events
Discipleship Opportunities
Youth Group
Wednesdays • 6th–12th Grade
Each Wednesday night we meet for a time of worshiping the Lord, preaching from God’s Word, building relationships, and supporting one another in small groups. All 6th–12th grade students are welcome!
Bridge Preteen Ministry
Sundays • 5th & 6th Grade
Bridge is an intentional discipleship class held during Sunday services designed specifically for 5th & 6th graders. Students learn the basics of our faith and are challenged to grow in their own. As they do, they bridge the gap from being a child of Christ to a growing disciple of Jesus.
LIFT
On-site Winter Retreat • 6th–12th Grade
LIFT is our annual winter event that brings students together for a weekend full of fun, community, games, worship, and teaching. It is our hope that LIFT will challenge students in their faith in new ways, and that they will grow closer to Christ as a result.
Summer Camp
Off-site Summer Camp • 6th–12th Grade
Summer Camp is a week-long event hosted at a midwest summer camp location. This classic summer camp experience is full of small group camaraderie, energetic worship, compelling messages, and lots of fun games and activities.
Short-Term Mission Trips
From local to global, we are passionate about providing opportunities for students to glimpse what it means to take the Gospel to others outside the four walls of our church. QC Plunge—our junior high missions trip—focuses on local outreach within the Quad Cities. Our high school missions trips are more globally focused and offer students an opportunity to see what reaching the unreached looks like around the globe. Trips typically take place during the summer months.
