Wednesday Nights
6:00 pm—7:30 pm Elevate Worship in the Loft This is a time of worship and bible teaching for all of our junior high and high school students. The snack bar will be open with drinks, snacks, snow cones, and Elevate gear. We consider this to be an outreach event where students can bring their friends so that they can hear the gospel.
Our Philosophy
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f18e22_99c6f04dbfad47e987e7816ba284cb68.jpg/v1/fill/w_596,h_196,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto/f18e22_99c6f04dbfad47e987e7816ba284cb68.jpg)
Our primary means of accomplishing these things is through Sunday morning Discipleship Groups and Wednesday night Student Worship. Discipleship Groups create a place where students of the same age and gender can discuss and study the Bible, pray for one another, and encourage one another to live godly lives. These small groups are led and facilitated by adult leaders and are the ‘bread and butter’ of our discipleship plan for all of our students. High school groups (9th-12th grade) meet at 9:30am on Sunday mornings in the Loft; Junior High groups (7th and 8th grade) meet at 11:00am. Student Worship on Wednesday nights is our primary outreach environment where students can invite their friends to worship and hear a great message about Jesus. All 7th-12th grade students are invited to Student Worship, which happens every Wednesday night from 6-7:30pm in the Loft.
In addition to Discipleship Groups and Student Worship, we also offer a variety of camps, retreats, and other fun events. You’ll see many of these featured on the EVENTS page. We do not desire to fill students’ already busy lives with more programs and activities just because we can. We want everything we do to support our overall ministry vision, which means giving students and families ample time for being together and creating space for adults to disciple students outside of planned activities. We believe that ‘less = more’ when it comes to planning events and retreats. Because of this, we consider everything we do plan to be essential for the spiritual growth of our students. Weekly involvement in Discipleship Groups and Student Worship are essential for growth in godliness and community, while involvement in other activities and camps provide catalytic moments to challenge students to new levels of maturity in Christ. Students wishing to Connect, Grow, and Serve to their full capacity should prioritize the things we plan—especially our two weekly meetings!
If you have any questions about our calendar or philosophy, please let us know. We are here to support you in any way we can!
