OUR MISSION
Sunday mornings are built around facilitating the growth of our students. This happens through digging into the books of the Bible and discussing in gender based small groups. Primarily we read the Old Testament, but this Bible study is not limited by New or Old Testaments! We also read and discuss topic-based books on occasion. This is is accomplished by an introduction to the lesson with a video, and then releasing into small groups to read and discuss the chapter or topic.
On Sunday Evenings we encounter God through Home Groups. We meet at various homes throughout the year which includes the student pastor, parents, and adult leaders. In these Home Groups we break bread with one another, enjoy a time of camaraderie, and open the Bible or discuss a spiritual topic. Sometimes we will use Right Now Media, and other times we will simply read the Bible and discuss it.
Our Midweek on Wednesday evenings is our most popular student gathering. Each school week a meal is provided at 6pm and the gym is open. During this time students and children get to run around and play in the gym. Around 6:30pm we move into the student area to worship and hear a word from God. This includes a large group for one week and small groups the following week. We also offer guests and those who invite others to participate in a ‘VIP Experience’ once per month. A few nights per semester we have our ONE Night on a Wednesday. This is an event oriented evening with a gospel presentation. The goal is to encourage students who don’t normally go to church come through our doors and encounter Jesus, maybe for the first time!
