Our Youth Ministry offers a welcoming space for students from 5th to 12th grade to grow in faith, connect with others, and serve Christ.

Middle School (Grades 5-8)
On Sunday mornings, middle school students dive into studying the Bible through Group 412 (grades 5-6) and Merge (grades 7-8) classes. Twice a month, they also enjoy Middle-School Mixer nights—a fun opportunity to build friendships and connect with others.

High School (Grades 9-12)
Every other week, high school students come together for a time of fun, connection, and fellowship.

Explore Youth Ministry with us as we encourage each student’s spiritual journey in a supportive, Christ-centered community!
