BUILT FOR THIS

What does it mean to be a Christian and what does it take? This series is designed to inform and train students in understanding that God created us to withstand and thrive in a world that is falling apart. Students' worlds are filled with pain and failure, yet God made us for these moments. This series goes along with our weekend series, "Unshakeable."

BLACKLIGHT 2K19 - 1kPhew

FREE EVENT for Middle School and High School students! We are bringing in Reach Records artist, 1kPhew to be able to glorify God through rap and sharing of his powerful testimony! Come decked out in glow-in-the-dark clothing for a life-changing night! Doors open at 6:30pm, beginning at 7:00pm.

YOUTH LIFE Groups

LIFE Groups are designed to help students build relationships, grow in their faith, and experience genuine Christian community. Groups begin in October and meet consistently through April. LIFE Groups are a key part of our night and important for spiritual growth of our students. YOUTH service runs from 7:00-8:15pm on Wednesday nights.

More Info:
• YOUTH LIFE Groups are separated by age and gender.
• Every LIFE Group is matched with same-sex adult leaders.
• Same Groups meet every week. This enables students to build personal relationships and experience Christian community.
