YOUTH Ministries

Our Youth Ministries is a place where students in grades 7-12 can come to learn about the Christian faith, develop and strengthen that faith, learn how to become loving, learning, and active followers of Jesus, hang out, and have fun. We strive to provide a solid Biblical foundation upon which our youth can grow into devoted men and women of God.

Overview

We have an exciting and growing youth ministry program with many arms that contain something for everyone. Our goal in everything we do – be it our Sunday morning worship service (Fusion), our Sunday evening youth group gathering (Elevation), our summer mission trips, our fall and winter retreats, our Confirmation program, and the other things in which we participate throughout the year – is to lead our youth, and anyone who walks through our doors into a deeper relationship with Jesus.

Fusion-Sundays at 9 am

Youth Worship Service

Fusion is a Youth Worship Service in a coffee shop atmosphere, and is for all students in grades 7-12. We meet each Sunday from 9:00-9:45 am, with the exception of Communion Sundays (the first Sunday of each month). We start off in the Sanctuary to join the 9:00 am service for worship. Students may sit together in a group, or with their families. After a few songs, there will be an announcement for students to leave for Fusion, and then we go to upper room in the Worship & Youth Center for a collaborative hands-on learning experience. This format will change in the future when we have students interested in playing instruments and leading worship in Fusion.

Plus, we always have hot chocolate, coffee, and donuts!!!
 

Elevation-SUndays at 6 pm

Youth Group

Elevation usually meets on Sundays from 6:00 – 8:00 pm in the Worship & Youth Center and is for all students in grades 7-12.

Elevation is our weekly youth group gathering. On any given Sunday, we meet to hear what God has to say to us, wrestle through issues of life and faith, play games, hang out, eat food, watch our always hilarious Stupid Video of the Week, and build friendships with peers and our amazing adult leadership team.
