Senior High
Our ninth-through-twelfth graders have the opportunity to deepen their Christian faith by being involved in the Senior High Fellowship group. Most Senior High events happen on Sunday evenings; retreats and overnights are sprinkled throughout the year; and mission trips are central to the summer calendar.
Our program offers incredible experiences, opportunities to make lasting friendships, and a welcoming environment where all young people are valued. The program year is shaped by three central questions: Who are we? (Fall) Whose are we? (Winter) How does that impact our lives and the world around us? (Spring)
Sunday Mornings at 10:00 a.m.—Senior High students alternate between worship and class. Discussion focuses on contemporary issues of teenagers from a faith perspective.
Sunday Evenings—The Senior High Youth Group meets to strengthen relationships through fellowship. Most events happen on Sunday evenings.

Junior High
Our sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders participate in a variety of events throughout the year including game nights, movie outings, gym time, lock-ins, bonfires, cookouts and more. Most events are held on Sundays with our church families serving as event hosts.
The focus of the Junior High ministry is providing a safe, social, fun place where youth are welcomed as children of God. They establish friendships and relationships within our church community that nurture them in faith and enable them to have a great time.

This important class prepares young people (mainly seventh- and eighth-graders) for confirmation into the Christian faith. Our ministers, professional staff and church members help students explore aspects of their faith and teach foundational biblical lessons and stories. Classes meet Sunday mornings at 10:00 a.m.
