Our Mission: Building Strong Disciples
We invite middle and high-school students (Grades 7–12) to encounter Christ and grow in their understanding of God's Word. Our mission is to partner with parents to equip students to become committed and compassionate followers of Jesus.
We build a dynamic community focused on four core pillars:
Deep Biblical Teaching: Relevant lessons focused on applying Scripture to their daily lives (using resources like the Bible Project).
Heartfelt Worship: Not only opportunities to worship in song (though the youth band is excellent!) but in a life that is built to worship in all they do.
Meaningful Service: Offering opportunities to serve our church and neighbors.
Authentic Community: Creating a safe, fun, and non-judgmental environment where they can build strong, lasting friendships.
