Sundays
Sunday Morning
We believe the best way to create "sticky faith" is by having youth involved in congregational worship and serving in church. We encourage our students to attend worship or serve in various ways during the hour they are on campus. If you would like to get your student plugged into serving around campus with Children's Ministries, Open Arms, the Tech Team, ushering or greeting, please contact Emily.
Merge, 5:30-8 p.m.
Have you ever seen an older person and a younger person get into an argument? Maybe it was a teacher and student or a coach and athlete. Chances are, it was tense and both sides were sure of one thing: they were right. For some reason, that kind of tension has always existed between adults and teenagers. And, it can be tempting to feel like every conversation is a fight to be won. Is it possible that we've missed something huge? Come find out and don't forget to bring $5 for dinner.   
Wednesdays
Middle School Bible Study, 6:30-8 p.m.
We all know what the Bible is, but, if we're honest, we have a lot of questions about it. How did it get here? Who wrote it? Is it the ACTUAL word of God? Who got to decide what went in and what didn't? Come find out this Wednesday!
