About Our Students
Howdy! Welcome to the Student Ministry at CrossRidge Church! We understand that your teen years can be challenging, and we’re here to help. Our Student Ministry meets throughout the year on Sunday mornings, and on a semester basis throughout the year on Wednesday nights. Led by volunteers, we consistently challenge our students to take their first or next steps with Jesus.
We believe that jumping in at CrossRidge could be one of the best decisions you ever make. We’re committed to creating a home for all 7th to 12th grade students in Little Elm, Frisco, and beyond. We hope to see you around our campus soon.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Sundays:
Each Sunday, all 7th through 12th graders go to worship at 10:45 am and meet at 9:00 am in the Student Center for small groups. Small groups is a time for students to connect with God and with each other. It also challenges them to dig deeper into God’s word.
Wednesdays:
Wednesday nights, during the spring and fall semesters, students meet from 7:00 pm to 8:15 pm. It is a time for students to unwind during the week, hang out with each other, and hear God’s Word.
Throughout the Year…
We offer many different ways for students to get involved and engage with others. From camps throughout the summer, to mission trips and other activities, there is something for everybody.
Upcoming Events
We’ve always got a lot going on around here, and we want you to be there! All of our events are designed for students between the 7th and 12th grades. Read all about them down below!

- Sneak Peek 2024: A Celebration of New Beginnings
This past weekend, we were thrilled to host Sneak Peek 2024, a special event welcoming our upcoming 7th graders into the student ministry. It was an unforgettable day filled with excitement, fun, and new friendships as our newest members got a taste of what’s to come! The end-of-summer party was packed with activities for everyone. From competitive video games to action-packed volleyball and gaga ball matches, there was no shortage of energy!

The rain may have flooded DFW, but it couldn’t dampen our spirits because Student Camp 2024 was a ringing success! Thirteen leaders and 58 kids traveled to Mt. Lebanon in Cedar Hill, TX, for an unforgettable experience. Camp was filled with spiritual growth, fun activities, and memorable moments that we know students will carry with them for years to come. Spiritual Milestones As camp leaders, we were honored to witness: Breakout Sessions The breakout sessions were incredibly impactful, addressing crucial […] - Mountains, Water, and Smelly Rooms
Another student camp is in the books. This year we took 58 people of which 45 were kids and 13 were adults, to Glorieta, New Mexico. Glorieta sits in the southern Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The mountains usually provide a great getaway from the Texas heat that all Texans are far too familiar with. This year, the weather was a little warmer than normal during the day but the nights were fantastic and it was definitely not as hot as Little […] - Noodles and Baskets
That’s amore! The people of CrossRidge Church showed up and hugely supported the student ministry and broke all previous records in the process. The Student Ministry’s Spaghetti Lunch and Basket Raffle raised $7,000. All the money raised goes to the Student Ministry and helps them pay for camp this summer. Individuals and Life Teams donated baskets for the raffle, which contained gift cards, summer fun, date night and game night items, photo sessions, nerf guns, candy, popcorn, and so much […] - The Best Worst Sweater Time of the Year
Not long ago, dressing in an ugly sweater would get you banned by your friends at the next Christmas Party. Times have changed, and if you don’t have at least one ugly sweater for Christmas, you might find yourself uninvited for next year’s festivities. Our students held their annual Ugly Sweater Christmas Party this past weekend. From old ugly, sold-in-a-store sweaters to custom-made works of greatness, most students did not disappoint. We’re not sure whose grandma some of these students […] - Students Got To Eat, Compete, and Pie Others
If you didn’t make it to this year’s YOUTHSgiving you missed out! Students had an amazing spread of food from turkey, ham, corn casserole, green beans, pies, cinnamon rolls and more. Everybody got as much as they wanted and then some. The adult leaders did a fantastic job of decorating the room. Tables were dressed with thanksgiving theme items. Plates and utensils sat waiting for students to pull up a chair. Tables stood next to each other in a family […]
