Community Groups
Wednesdays | 7 PM – 8:45 PM
Community Groups are a space where students can laugh, connect, and have meaningful conversations about what matters most in life. Groups include time for both large group and small group connection. High School Community Groups are geographically based with the option to meet in-person either at a Blackhawk site or a site in Waunakee.
E-mail questions to [email protected].
Student Ministry Community Groups are taking a break for the summer and will kick back off on September 17th. Check out our summer events to find ways to connect before the fall! Registration for the 2025-2026 Community Group season will open in early August.

Side-by-Side
HSM Mentoring
We believe that we were all intended to live life in community with one another, and that everyone needs someone walking alongside them in a mentoring relationship. In Side-by-Side, students are paired with an adult mentor who is there to connect one-on-one as an encouragement, support, and listening ear. The time together each month can look different depending on what the student is looking for and each pairs’ preference for activities and connection. This might look like meeting up to chat over coffee, discussing a book together, going for a walk and talking about life, doing a Bible study, doing a fun activity, or a combination of these things.

Asian American Student Ministry (AASM)
Fridays, 7-9 PM
AASM serves primarily Asian-American middle & high school students. It provides a culture-specific space where students can explore their identity through talking about common values and struggles with predominately Asian-American leaders. Anyone is welcome to be a part of AASM regardless of race or ethnicity, and no one is required to be part of it because of their race and ethnicity. Students may choose to do both AASM and Community Groups.

AASM Community Group is taking a break for the summer and will kick back off on September 19th. Check out our summer events to find ways to connect before the fall! Registration for the 2025-2026 Community Group season will open in early August.
