Life Prep

Life Prep is a two-semester program designed for high school seniors. We’ll equip them with a foundation of practical and spiritual tools that will help them thrive in their senior year and the years to come.

Why Life Prep?

Community with other high school seniors.

Senior year brings huge changes, and no one understands that more than your peers. Life Prep gathers seniors together to develop new friendships that will support you through this year and beyond.

Wisdom from trusted mentors.

Sometimes it’s easier to process things with someone who’s not in your immediate family, so a trusted adult who isn’t mom or dad can be a really important voice in your life. Life Prep connects you with a mentor who will support you, encourage you, and point you back to Jesus in this time of transition.

Support from parents.

Your family will be with you longer than anyone else, so Life Prep helps you and your parents navigate this hard year together. We’ll talk through what a healthy relationship between adult parents and adult children looks like, and we’ll help mom and/or dad continue to have that influential voice in your life now and in the years to come.

FAQs

What does Life Prep cost?

All Life Prep sessions are a free ministry of Grace Church. We do host an optional annual trip that will involve fees for travel, lodging, and activities.

Do I have to attend Grace Church to participate?

No. Life Prep is open to all seniors, whether they are a part of Grace, a part of another church, or a part of no church at all. Grace Church is a pretty special place, though! If you don’t have a church home, we would love for you to check out a weekend service in person or online.

How do I register?

Sign-up for Life Prep here. We’ll have an info meeting for students and parents on Saturday, August 10th, where you’ll meet mentors and hear more about the program.

Can I be in a Life Prep group with my friend?

Yes! There is a place for you to request a specific friend in your group on the sign up form.
