Student Ministry

Finding Identity and Purpose in Jesus

Our student ministry provides a safe and fun environment for middle school and high school students to experience the true life that comes through following Jesus.

From our Sunday and Wednesday night program called The Way (the number one spot for students to connect!) to special events throughout the year, any time is a great time for students to get involved.

High School

The Way - Sundays 6:00-7:30 PM

Middle School

The Way - Wednesdays 6:30-8:00 PM

The Way Message Series

We are so excited for The Way to start back up for the school year! This semester we are going to dive into the Psalms of David and see what it looks like to have authentic communication with God and understand that God is always listening in both the good and bad times of life.

Youth Events

We have many excellent events throughout the year including summer conferences, spring and fall retreats, parties and more.

Check out some of our upcoming special events:
