Youth

Discipling the Next Generation to Worship, Connect, Grow, and Serve

Grow Closer to Christ in Community

At any age, you need people to walk with—but that’s even more important when you’re navigating the pressures of middle and high school.

Through weekly meetings, fun events, and life-changing trips, we encourage one another to joyfully know Jesus, love Him more, and serve Him better.

Our Gatherings

All of our gatherings are open to students in 7th through 12th grade.

Other ways to get involved

Some of the best memories are made when you step out of the mundane. We live life in community from week to week—and we step outside of our comfort zones together.

Special Events

We like to have fun. Throughout the year, there are events ranging from lake parties to football games, retreats, board game nights, and out-of-town trips.


Events

Mission Journeys

Each year, our youth have an opportunity to serve on a weeklong mission trip. Where we serve and the specifics of what we do vary, but our heart remains the same: to make Christ known.
