Youth Ministry

sunday school

Whoever you are, wherever you're from, you are welcome here.

Our Sunday School classes are taught by our amazing parents along with our Youth Ministry Director, Andy McKinney. We use a pre-formatted curriculum that is designed to not only teach students the timeless truth of God's Word, but also to engage their minds in thinking about their faith and how it relates to their daily life. All adults working with our youth undergo a background check and MinistrySafe training.

When: 10:00 AM

What can I expect?

Each Sunday Night during the school year, from 4:30 - 6:30 pm, our students in grades 6-12 gather for an exciting time of amazing worship, modern music, relevant messages, games, snacks and small group discussions
in our Life Groups.

Sunday Night Youth is specifically designed and planned to create an environment that is both compelling and relevant to the student culture of our community. Our music is modern, and our approach is both creative and innovative. All adults working with our youth undergo a background check and MinistrySafe training.

life Groups

Get Connected. Go Deeper.

During the school year, students meet with other students in their grade and gender group. Each of these is a Life Group! Each Life Group has an amazing adult volunteer that leads them in discussions about whatever the topic of worship or current events. We hope these Life Groups give each student a chance to grow closer to their peers and be able to have meaningful conversations and fellowship with one another.

confirmation class

10:00 am in The Loft Classroom (2nd floor of Sanctuary bldg.)
Classes begin Oct. 1st

Confirmation is a 32-week class (September to April) for our 6th grade students that introduces them to the foundations of the Christian faith through the lens of the Methodist traditions and theology. These students learn everything from the formation of the Biblical canon to the historical reliability of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. They also participate in various activities and events throughout the year.

This process ends with a weekend retreat with our staff pastors who work one on one with each student as they write out their personal testimony and confirmation into the faith. We celebrate this achievement by focusing an entire Sunday morning worship gathering to honor and recognize each student's confirmation on Confirmation Sunday.

Our amazing confirmation teachers are knowledgable in both the confirmation process and the curriculum we use to guide us through this important journey in the life of our entering middle school students. All adults working with our youth undergo a background check and MinistrySafe training.

summer mission trips

When youth serve on a mission trip, they get to be a part of real change by participating in the work that God is already doing in the local community. When students and communities connect they join in the bigger story of what God is doing in the world around them. We are proud to offer meaningful Christ-centered mission trips for middle and high school students that broaden perspectives, ignite new friendships, and grow compassion. Each summer we offer 1-2 mission trips.
