Weekly Gatherings

Sunday School

Sundays at 9:50 | Grades 7–12

We meet between Sunday services to study Scripture together and discuss how it applies to school, family, and friendships. Guys and girls break into separate groups for discussion so students can speak openly.

Wednesday Night Youth Group

Wednesdays at 6:20 | Grades 7–12

Our main midweek gathering. We start with games and open gym time, hear a short lesson from Scripture, and break into small groups led by adult mentors.

Wednesday Night Schedule

Our youth group includes students from several local school districts as well as homeschool families. Whether your student grew up in church or is stopping by for the first time, they will find an easygoing, welcoming group.

A casual meal for families in the fellowship hall before evening activities begin. (Pre-registration required)

A short time of praise in the worship center for the whole church family before Youth Group, Awana, and adult groups start.

Kick off the night with outdoor games like gaga ball and two-hand touch football, or just relax and catch up with friends.

Gather together for engaging, Gospel-centered messages focused on the real challenges teens face today.

Break into smaller gender and grade specific groups led by background-checked adult mentors to process the lesson, ask big questions, and pray for each other.

Fall Party

Interested in serving on our Youth Ministry team?

Mentoring teenagers doesn't require having all the answers—just a willingness to listen, show up consistently, and point them toward God's Word. If you'd like to lead a small group or help out on Wednesdays, we'd love to talk with you.
