Weekend Experience
As the church, we view our role as a partnership with families to intentionally develop and grow a teenager’s relationship with Jesus. Grace Students is our ministry environments for students 6th through 12th Grade. Our weekend environments are designed to be a fun safe place where each student will experience large group teaching and small group discussion with a consistent leader.
Middle School (6th-8th Grade) meets during the 10:45 service each Sunday.
High School (9th-12th Grade) meets Sunday evenings 6:30-8:30PM.
MS Summer Camp is an opportunity for students to get away from their usual routine and distractions for a fun 4-days focused on faith and friendships. It is a unique opportunity that is often a milestone in the faith journey of young believers and the highlight of their summer!
