WakeStudents

Wake Students is the middle and high school ministry of Quay Church. We exist to make Jesus known and to help lead students into an encounter with Him in a safe and welcoming environment. We strive to build them up in both their zeal for the Lord and in their understanding of His word.

In scripture we see the word “wake” used in connection with resurrection (Ephesians 5:14) and how Jesus brings us from death to life. “Wake” in the nautical definition is defined as “the result or consequence of something having moved through”. We desire for our student ministry to make an impact on our community by how we live, and that we would leave a wake behind us that points others to faith in Jesus.

frequently asked questions

what are wake crews?

Crews is our name for our small groups here at Quay Church. Wake has a crew for each grade and gender. Each crew has at least two crew leaders who have applied to lead their group for the entire school year, and have been interviewed, background checked, and selected by our leadership team.

Crews meet weekly during our gathering in different locations on campus to discuss the message and pray together. We encourage our crew leaders to develop meaningful relationships as they step into a discipleship role with their group of students and guide them in their relationships with Jesus.

We also offer a Middle School Crew for parents. They meet at the same time Wake Middle School meets on Wednesday nights at 7p,
