Youth Ministry
A place to flourish...
Our youth ministry is for students in 6th through 12th grade. This ministry aims to form Christ-centered, gospel-focused disciples of Jesus Christ, equipped to evangelize and make disciples themselves. This will be accomplished primarily through the expositional teaching of God’s sufficient and inerrant Word while building relationships in a multi-generational, gospel-based community. There are unique spiritual and emotional challenges to these pivotal years in one’s life, and we seek to answer the tough questions, work through the tough seasons, and grow in love for God and neighbor together.

What We Do
sunday life group
Every Sunday at 10:30 am (after 9am worship in the sanctuary), we gather in Room 202. We will return to the bank building once they have resolved the issues with their facility.
wednesday nights
We also gather every Wednesday night in the Welcome Center (church lobby). Free food is served at most gatherings beginning at 5:30 pm. Bible study then takes place from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm. This will also return to the bank facility when appropriate.
special events
Various events are held throughout the year for the youth, including retreats, game nights, bowling, special dinners, outreach events, and more. In the future, we pray that older youth may have opportunities to serve the Lord through short-term domestic and international mission trips.
Important Info
current studies
In Sunday Life Group, all youth are working through the book of Luke and given practical guidance on how to apply it to their lives.
On Wednesday nights, for the 2025-2026 school year, all students are working through a series on Old Testament Foundations which seeks to take students through Genesis (Fall 2025) and Exodus (Spring 2026).
Bus Information
If you would like your 6th to 12th grader to be bussed to the church for our Wednesday Night gatherings, please complete this permission form. This is only offered on Wednesday nights unless otherwise announced. Transportation to and from church on Sundays is a hopeful future prospect at the moment and depends on interest.
