Upcoming High School Events
Flag Football
Youth and Family Ministry are collaborating to host our 2nd annual Thanksgiving Flag Football game. The game will be held at Veterans Park at 10 am. All are welcome to come play!
Toys for Mexico
Every year we get the opportunity to share the love of Jesus with our friends in Acuña, Mexico. We get to bless the children and families by giving them toys and shoes that are collected at church leading up to the trip. High school students are welcome and encouraged to be a part of this short trip, on December 20th-21st.
Passion Conference
Passion 2026 is the gathering of a generation, united by one desire: the name and renown of Jesus. From across the country and around the world, 18-25 year olds are coming together, lifting one voice, declaring one name—JESUS.
We will be taking our High School Seniors. Buy your ticket through the Passion website. Seniors should also bring money for food! Let us know if you’re coming!
Charge Weekend
Formerly known as M3 WKND this is an exciting weekend event that focuses on evangelism and getting students excited about sharing their faith. The word “charge” brings out the ideas of “charging up” the students to get out there and make a difference for the Kingdom of God and also the idea of a battle cry of, “Charge!”
Buy your ticket through the website, then register with us to let us know you're coming! Register as an individual even though we will go as a group. Meet at the church to be shuttled to and from Lake Church.
There{4} – HS Girls Conference
THERE{4} Gathering is a two-day conference designed to equip high school girls to know Christ and boldly live out their faith. Through powerful worship, dynamic teaching, and a community of girls from all walks of life, this weekend creates space for real connections with God and with each other. Join us in 2026, for a fresh encounter with truth, purpose, and the hope found only in Jesus.
Buy your There{4} ticket through their website and then sign up to let us know you're coming! We will provide transportation from church and breakfast on Saturday morning. Lunch is provided at the conference.
