Weekly Activities

Youth Sunday School // Sundays 9:00 AM — 10:15 AM

During the first worship service, students meet in the Youth Lounge. They start with some free time to eat and hangout. Then they break into groups to study the morning’s passages. After that, they are mixed into new groups to share what they learned. They conclude by hearing a lesson that brings together everything they’ve learned that morning.

Youth Group // Sundays 5:00 PM — 7:30 PM

Our evening meetings during the school year are on Sundays. Youth Group centers around students’ relationships with each other and with consistent adult leaders. Students are grouped by age and gender (i.e. middle school boys, high school girls, etc.) with adult leaders committed to modeling mutual encouragement and accountability for students and experiencing it with them.

Our structured programming ends at 7 p.m. From 7 to 7:30, we have free time during which we encourage students to hang out and parents to come to talk to each other and jump into the games with students.

Featured Event: High School Retreat (Nov. 8-10)

On November 8-10, we will have our annual Fall retreat for high school students. Students spend time together, play games, cook/eat meals, have individual time with God, and participate in group sessions to sing, study Scripture, and encourage one another. Saturday also includes a bonfire and worship under the stars. Our theme this year is “Renovating Shame into Corporate Joy,” based on Nehemiah 8:10—“And do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength." The cost is $60 per student. Use the button below to access the registration.
