Sunday Morning Bible Study

9:30 AM | Room 214 | January 3 – May 23

Sunday mornings are dedicated to diving into Scripture and helping students Know Jesus personally.  Middle and high school students will meet together as a large group to begin the morning and a lesson will be presented by a member of the Student Life team or a Bible Study leader.  Following the lesson, middle school and high school groups will divide up to discuss the lesson and Scripture among their peers.

Small Groups

5:30 – 6:30 PM | Various Locations | January 10 – May 2

6th - 12th-grade students meet to experience Christian community in a small group setting as they study and apply Scripture to their lives. Small groups offer an opportunity for every student to Be Known, to Know Jesus, and to Know Themselves, which is what we want for every student. The groups are divided by grade and gender. Groups meet in various locations around our church.

Wednesday Nights

Students of all ages gather together for an evening of fun and fellowship, mixed in with worship and a message or teaching. The night begins with pizza ($1/slice) and continues with an ice-breaker game or two, followed by worship with our student band and worship leaders. After worship, a short message or teaching is given by one of our Student Pastors or a member of the Student Speaking Team. The evening wraps up with a choice of a large group game, art activity, or homework/hang out time. Our mid-week program meets throughout the semester except April 7.
