Family Ministries

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.
Psalm 127:3-5

Students will meet in small and large groups as they study the Word of God and build community within their ministry. 

Wednesdays at 6PM  |  
Students will meet for a time of worship and teaching in a large group setting as they learn what it means to be rooted in Christ. 



The Student Ministry at Colonial Heights is here for your 6-12th grader. Our desire is to partner with parents to see their teen grow in an understanding of who Christ is, who they are because of Him, and the call that all believers have to make Christ known to others.

Our Purpose
To help students grow to love the Lord with all their hearts, with all their souls, and with all their strength.

The Student Ministry will:

  • Always promote a parent's leadership and spiritual responsibility for their student.
  • Encourage students' submission to the Lord and their parents.
  • Partner with parents as their student(s) glorify God by making disciples of all nations.
  • Create environments for students and their families to serve the Lord.


High School

Our High School Ministry is designed for 9-12th grade. Through large group times of worship and teaching, as well as small group Bible studies, our prayer is for your student to grow in their understanding of Scripture and their love for the Lord.

Middle School
The Middle School Ministry is for students in 6-8th grade. Our middle school students gather with the entire Student Ministry each Wednesday before breaking off for their own unique time of worship and teaching.

Weekday Preschool


Welcome to the Weekday Preschool at Colonial Heights. As a church, we like to say that together, we glorify God by making disciples of all nations. That mission begins with our youngest kids as they learn the love of God through the tender care of parents and adult teachers at church. In our Weekday Preschool, we seek to provide a place for preschoolers to learn and grow in a safe, fun environment.
