*Student Ministry

UpNext Ministry for 6th, 7th, and 8th Grade Students Sundays at 9 am in the Chapel.

This ministry provides an interactive discipleship experience for students transitioning into their teenage years. Through personal, interactive discipleship we walk alongside students in their journey of faith, teaching them how to live in relationship with God, how to study the Bible, how to pray, and how to live set apart for the Gospel of Christ. We will also work through weekly rotation serving in different areas of the church, giving students hands-on ministry opportunities.

UpStream - Wednesdays at 6:30 pm

Middle School and High School Upstream will meet separately from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. Each service includes games, food, and fellowship followed by corporate worship, a short sermon, and gender based small groups. It is our desire to introduce these students to the life of the church and experience adult style worship service while engaging in small group discipleship.
