Sundays · Small Groups
Your people, every Sunday.
Small groups meet every Sunday in the Student Building, where students build friendships and explore the Bible together.
We strategically engage each age group with discipleship content built for where they are, challenging students to sharpen their faith and preparing them to live for Jesus in today's culture.

Wednesday Nights
Come early. Hang out.
Come early, check in, and hang out. Most weeks we hold two services, each focused on the unique stage of life middle schoolers and high schoolers are in.
But in more ways than not, we're one ministry, not two, and there's a great unity between our middle schoolers and high schoolers. So sometimes we worship together, like to kick off a sermon series or for a special event.
