Students
Middle School + High School Ministry
Wednesdays, 6:30pm – 8:30pm
Students are the now of the church. We GATHER each week, GROW in faith, CREATE lifelong memories, and CONNECT with each other and our world. Over the new few months we’re doing a Back to School Bash, an overnighter in Whisper Canyon, Hume Lake Winter Camps, taking opportunities to serve, and so much more. You belong here.
If you are new, please print, fill out and bring the Student Sign In with you.
Weekly Gatherings
Wednesday nights we GATHER together as a larger group and eat dinner together. After all, we are family. After dinner, Middle School and High School break off into their own groups. GROW is a Bible lesson and small group time, and CONNECT lets us play inclusive games both indoors and outdoors. At the end of the night, we come back together to pray.
