FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do middle and high school students meet all together?
Every week, middle schoolers & high schoolers will meet together for worship and a message. Afterwards, they will separate to different locations in the building for table fellowship discussions on the message.
Does Alliance Students accommodate students with special needs?
God made us for relationship with Him and others. This includes our youth with special needs. Wednesday nights during Greenhouse youth with special needs are supported by our Greenhouse Friends and Greenhouse Mentors who come alongside them, support them and allow them to experience the environment at their level. To find out if the Greenhouse Special Needs Ministry would be a suitable fit for your child, fill out the contact form.
Does Alliance Students offer Sunday morning programming?
We believe that students are not only the church of tomorrow, but the church of today. One of the best ways for students to take ownership outside of the worship service on Sunday mornings is to serve. We have a variety of opportunities for students to serve on Sundays.
We understand that there is a considerable gap between the Discovery Land worship experience and the multigenerational worship service that may hinder student engagement. If you or your student is struggling to engage in this service, the following resources will be most helpful for you.
SPIRITUAL BOOTCAMP (SBC)
SBC is an intense discipleship event for students in grades 9-12. The purpose of SBC is to be a Bible learning and God-knowing experience with the intended result of producing an army of biblically and spiritually mature young leaders for His kingdom. This intense and exciting discipleship program meets Sunday mornings throughout the school year and requires two to three hours of work each week.
SBC is open for registration prior to the beginning of each semester. If you would like to receive updates as to when registration opens as well as other important updates about our ministry, sign up to receive our ministry newsletter.
YOUVERSION BIBLE APP
The Bible App allows you to follow along with the pastor’s message and even take notes on a specific passage of scripture and even continue reading scripture through bible reading plans throughout the week.
SERVE AS PART OF THE CHURCH
One of the best ways for a student to engage in the worship service on Sunday morning is to serve.

How do I know what my student is learning about at Greenhouse?
We have created Catalogs to provide you with information on what your student is learning during Greenhouse services, and to provide extra resources for you & your student. You can find this under the Parent Resources tab at the top of this web page.
What is Discipleship Hour?
Every student needs corporate worship and biblical teaching, but more importantly, every student needs a place where they are seen, heard, and loved as they grow in their faith journey. Discipleship time is broken down into 3 areas.
- Table Fellowship: Middle schoolers and high schoolers head to their different table areas where they can either sit at table gender specific or co-ed tables. Each area will have adult leader moderators to help with guiding students in conversations about the message.
- Checkpoint: In our second semester (Jan-May) after service, students will have an opportunity to meet with a leader one-on-one a few times throughout the year. Leaders check in on where students are at in their life, faith, and spiritual journey. Checkpoint is highly encouraged for all our students.
- Hub Connection: After service, each grade will rotate through our hub connection environment (gym/hub) once every 6 weeks. We will have leaders in specific games areas where they can connect with students, ask questions and encourage students, and talk about the message and how they can apply it to their lives. Our goal here is to create another environment for students to engage in conversation.
Who is Greenhouse for?
At Greenhouse, all middle school and high schoolers hear this message: “You belong.” We believe students belong in these three different spaces: They belong here at Greenhouse, in community, and in the family of Jesus. Greenhouse is for the athlete, musician, intellectual, introvert, extrovert, the struggling, the hurting, for those close to God and those who don’t even believe in God.
