Youth Ministries

1 Thessalonians 2:8 says, “so we cared for you. Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God, but our lives as well.”

If we had to summarize, that would be the goal for every student that enters our ministry. That everyone deserves to be cared for, loved, and delighted in. We hope to see you at one of our events or programs soon!

Trek (7th - 8th Grade)

Trek meets once a month from 4-5:30pm on Sunday. Here Trek students find belonging with other students, are poured into by leaders who love Jesus, and experience worship and teaching centered on the Bible. Through large group teaching, small groups, fun events, and mission trips students will understand that they love God because He first loved them, that meeting with a community of believers is important, and that they will live out God’s story so that others can know Jesus.

Explore (7th - 8th Grade)

Explore meets in the Summit on Sunday mornings from 9:30-10:30am during the school year. EXPLORE is an extension of Trek and is a relevant confirmation program that equips students to exhibit the Heart of a Disciple and fosters meaningful relationships.

Venture (9th - 12th Grade)

Venture meets weekly on Sunday nights from 6-8pm. Here Venture students find belonging with other students, are poured into by leaders who love Jesus, experience worship and teaching centered on the Bible, and are empowered to lead through their gifting. Through large group teaching, small groups, worship, fun events, and mission trips students will understand that they are created to pursue a relationship with their Creator, that they are designed to live life in community with other believers, and they demonstrate God’s love to others.
