Our goal is to inspire students to worship, follow, and serve Christ in the context of gospel-centered belonging. Ultimately, we pray that each student will want to continue with Christ, his church, and his mission into college and adulthood.

What to Expect

Sunday Mornings

Worship
Students are encouraged to attend the 9:00 a.m. worship service.

During the 10:30 a.m. learning hour, grades 6-12 meet at the Hope House to enjoy complimentary donuts, build community with each other and the friends they invite, and engage in Biblical teaching. Middle and high school students are separated into age-appropriate groups for the teaching time.

Serve
We encourage students to serve as door greeters, as audio / video / lighting volunteers, or in other areas each week.

Resources for Parents

During the teen years, many parents feel like they lose their minds and sometimes their kids to the world. We help parents teach and model spiritual faithfulness, and we provide spaces for students to connect with each other and with adults from our church. The result? Teens following Jesus in the world by loving and serving others wherever they live, work, and play.

Serve in Student Ministry

IMG_2061

Serving alongside their leaders and peers plays a huge role in teens developing a lifelong relationship with Christ. Because of this, we are constantly drawing students in to serve, whether "up front" or behind the scenes. Some students open their homes for group gatherings, others lead small groups, others pass out bulletins and welcome people into worship, others encourage our friends with special needs, and the list goes on!
