Two Stages. One Journey.
While all students gather together, we intentionally focus on the unique needs of middle school and high school students to help them build a strong foundation and grow into confident, faith-filled leaders.
Middle School — Foundation & Belonging
For 6th through 8th grade students, we emphasize foundation, belonging, and fun. This stage is about building confidence, discovering faith personally, and forming friendships that support growth during important middle school years.
High School — Leadership & Depth
For 9th through 12th grade students, we emphasize leadership, serving, deeper faith, and fun. Students are encouraged to take ownership of their faith while mentoring others and preparing for life beyond graduation.
When Students Gather
Students connect during Sunday worship with their families and gather weekly for a midweek experience designed specifically for them. These rhythms create both generational unity and student-focused growth opportunities.
Students on Sundays
Middle and high school students are invited to join their families in corporate worship on Sundays. Gathering together as one church strengthens faith across generations and reinforces the importance of shared worship.
