setting and, after teaching, are split up into Middle School and High School small groups. The topics and studies are different each week, so if you haven’t been around before or have been around for a while, you can
jump right back in!

SUNDAY MORNINGS
10AM 

Small Groups

WEDNESDAY NIGHTS
6:00PM - 7:30PM

One of the best ways for youth to grow with others and in their Biblical knowledge is to join a youth Sunday School class on a regular basis. We believe spiritual growth and Biblical knowledge is important. For that reason, we challenge every youth to grow with others and in their knowledge in God's word in a Sunday School class. 
 
We start the night of with a meal and then a message from God's word.  The message is followed by small groups. Small groups create an environment of biblical community where people can feel welcome and accepted, encounter Christ and His Word, and make disciples and group multipliers.

Our groups spend time in God’s Word through sermon-based curriculum, and each group is encouraged to study the Bible weekly, hang out together monthly, and serve together quarterly.
