Weekly Activities
Youth Sunday School // Sundays 9:00 AM — 10:15 AM
During the first worship service, students meet in the Youth Lounge. They start with some free time to eat and hangout. Then they break into groups to study the morning’s passages. After that, they are mixed into new groups to share what they learned. They conclude by hearing a lesson that brings together everything they’ve learned that morning.
Summer Groups // Sundays and Tuesdays 6:00 PM — 8:00PM
Youth Group centers around students’ relationships with each other and with consistent adult leaders. Students are grouped by age and gender (i.e. middle school boys, high school girls, etc.) with adult leaders committed to modeling mutual encouragement and accountability for students and experiencing it with them.
This is a great way to dive into learning about God’s word in community.
