Wednesday Night Youth Group

6th–12th graders are invited to join us on Wednesday evenings during the school year and for special events throughout the year.

Is your student new to our youth ministry or has your insurance information changed? Please complete the form below.

Youth Ministry Registration

Our youth group is divided into two programs: Middle School and High School. Both programs are designed to provide a safe and welcoming environment for teens to find biblical answers to what and why Christians believe. The highlight happens in life groups (divided by age and gender) where adult mentors lead a life-application discussion of the evening’s Bible-based message.

Here’s a taste of what it’s like…get more details below!

Middle School

6th–8th graders meet in The Forge (Rm. 124) from 6:30–8:00 pm. Come as early as 6:00 pm to relax, play games, and hang out!

  • 6:30 pm — Ice-breakers and large group topic introduction.
  • 6:45 pm — Large group teaching time
  • 7:20 pm — Life group discussion by age/gender and snacks
  • 8:00 pm — Pick-up time or optional hangout time until 8:30 pm. Middle school students can hang out in the Forge or the Gym.

High School

9th–12th graders meet in the Well (Rm. 110) from 7:00–8:30 pm. Come as early as 6:00 pm to relax, play games, or do homework in the Well (Rm. 110) or the Gym!

  • 7:00 pm — Ice-breakers and large group teaching.
