Youth Ministry

Our Youth Ministry is for middle and high school students who want to grow in their faith, connect with peers, and experience God in meaningful ways. Through teaching, worship, and community-building activities, students are equipped to live boldly for Christ.

Youth Sundays

The main weekly hangout you don’t want to miss.

This is where students gather for high-energy worship, real conversations about faith, and a community that feels like family. Expect music, fun moments, encouraging messages, and time to hang out with friends.

What makes it special?

Youth Saturdays

More fun. More friends. More memories.

Youth Saturdays are for students who want to hang out, play games, do challenges, eat snacks, and connect in a low-key, relaxed vibe. Every Saturday is something new—sometimes themed, sometimes off-campus adventures—but always full of laughs and real connections.

What makes it special?

Our Young Adult Ministry is for college students, young professionals, and emerging leaders seeking spiritual growth, mentorship, and authentic community. This ministry provides opportunities to dive into Scripture, apply it to life, and grow together in faith.

Young Adult Bible Study

Real life talk. Real faith. Real community.

A low-pressure space for college students and young adults to explore Scripture, ask questions, and figure out life together. Think of it as meaningful hangouts with snacks, coffee, and conversation that matters.

What makes it special?

You’re Invited!

Passionate leaders, fun experiences, and a space where everyone feels seen are waiting for you. This is your chance to connect, grow in faith, and build friendships that last beyond Sundays.

Bring a friend, show up, and start your story with a community that celebrates you — your energy, your questions, and your journey.

Fun, faith, and friends are ready. All you have to do is step in.
