Upward Students

We have an amazing program for students, come check it out!

Upward Students

Upward Students is the Middle School and High School Ministry of UCF. 


Upward Students meets at 6:45pm on Thursday nights. During this students experience live worship with our worship team, relevant teaching and discussion based small groups. Students have the opportunities to build relationships with other students through games, prayer, teaching and simply hanging out in an environment that is uniquely designed from them. There is also time to hangout and play video games, Basketball, Spikeball and more before and after service.

All student ministry worship experiences are held in the student ministry building located on the campus of Upward Christian Fellowship.


Upward Students do not hold Sunday morning events due to the desire for students to both worship with their families AND have the chance to serve in other ministries throughout the church, such as children's ministry, guest services, tech, and more.


As part of the student ministry discipleship process, Upward Students incorporates yearly retreats into their calendar including Accelerant (Winter Retreat), Summer Camp, Missions Trips, and a Fall Retreat.
