WELCOME HOME!
We are a biblical community for students to know life and freedom in Christ. Through worship, Bible studies, small groups, and fellowship, we make space for students to grow deeper in their relationships with God and each other. This is a place where a student can belong and call home.
We hope to see you this week!
WEEKLY PROGRAMMING
WEDNESDAY NIGHTS
Wednesdays | 6 PM to 8 PM | The Student Room
All students come together for food, games, and fellowship before our student worship service. Afterwards, students break out into grade based small groups to discuss what was taught during the service and how it applies to their lives.
We would love to see you this Wednesday!
SUNDAY MORNINGS
All students are invited to come together on Sunday mornings for Bible study classes as well as worship with our congregation.
We would love to see you this Sunday!

Starting at 8:45, before our 9:15 programming, The Student Room is open as a hangout space for the students. This is also where the student will be dismissed to after their respective programming before we head over to the worship center at 10:40.
-
At 9:15 we have our Middle School and High School programming where students engage with scripture and learn to talk through how it impacts their day to day life. This is done at The Take in Room C236 for Middle School and Area 51 in Room C250 for High School.
-
At 10:45 we join the rest of the church in the Worship Center for the Contemporary Worship Service. We’d love for students to sit with Martin and Abby right behind the sound board in the middle of the worship center but students are welcome to sit with their families. Worshipping together through song and the teaching of scripture as a church is one of the greatest and most impactful acts we get to do as believers and we intentionally want to make space for our students to engage in that.

UPCOMING
STUDENTS
Encounter is our new winter event for 6th-12th graders that combines elements of a Christ-centered conference with an atmosphere closer to a sleepover. Your student gets time to not just have God centered conversations, but extended time to have fun and be together with students their age. We know God uses special encounters like this weekend to be a catalyst in our faith and deepen relationships with each other. We pray that you find a way to be there for it!
