Student Ministries

Pre-registration is not required but you’ll need to check in by adding your family to our Church Management System. This will include phone number and email address and physical address if you desire to share that info with us. This is used throughout all our ministries at Grace.

When you attend a Sunday morning or Thursday evening, you’ll be greeted by Dave, other leaders, and plenty of students!

Student Ministry meets Sunday Mornings during the 9:30 AM Worship Service and Thursday nights at 6:00 -8:00 PM for Midweek Gathering. We encourage students to attend at least one Main Worship Service with their families in addition to attending the Student Gathering Sunday mornings.

Attendance fluctuates due to school events and sports, but typically 25–40 students attend each gathering.

With one director and eight weekly volunteers, we maintain approximately a 4:1 student-to-leader ratio. All volunteers are background-checked and trained as mandated reporters.

Come at least three times before deciding.

Each gathering feels a little different, so we encourage students to experience the overall culture before deciding whether to call this Student Ministry here at Grace Seal Beach home.

And one more thing! We are already praying for you. We regularly pray not only for current students, but also for those who have not yet attended.

We meet in the Surfside Chapel (double doors by the lawn) Sundays at 9:30 AM and Thursdays 6:00 PM

“Our goal here at Grace Seal Beach, from Kids Ministry and beyond, is for every student to experience the transforming power of the Gospel. My personal hope is that through our weekly gatherings, studies, events, camps, and more, students would not just be ready for college (or whatever may be next for a student after graduating high school) but be prepared for eternity with our Lord Jesus, and to follow Him all the days of their lives.” - Dave Manuel, Director of Student Ministry
