Our mission in student ministry at Mount Carmel is to engage students by having them connect, grow, and serve with Jesus and others.

Middle School and High School students are at an essential point in their growth and development. There is a lot of “noise” in the world, and we want students to know the Truth — they are loved and there are people who want to help them walk life’s journey. We want to connect students as soon as they walk in our doors, create a place where they can grow deeper in their relationship with Jesus, and feel empowered to serve in the church and out in their community for God’s Kingdom.

Middle School and High School students in 6th-12th grade meet in the Student Center every Sunday morning. We have two services: one at 9:30 AM and one at 11:00 AM. We worship together through music, games, communion, offering, prayer, and message time.

We meet on Sunday evenings from 6:00-7:30pm, every Sunday except the 5th Sunday of the month. This is for ALL of our students (6th-12th grade). We follow the Acts 2:42 model where we gather for a meal, share our lives with each other, and study God’s Word in small groups. This time is designed for students to enjoy time together with good food, fun activities, and meaningful conversations that deepen their faith in Jesus. Whether your student is new to church, or has grown up in church their entire life, we have a seat saved for them in our ministry!

Student Minister

My name is David Rimarski and I am the Student Minister here at Mount Carmel Christian Church. I am originally from Virginia Beach. I went to college at Mid-Atlantic Christian University, where I studied Youth and Family Ministries. As a student Minister, I have always had a desire to help students with their spiritual growth and relationship with God. I love being that spiritual mentor that the students can rely on when they are in need.
