Upcoming High School Events
Wednesday Night Youth
In this two-week series, you’ll take your students on a journey toward better understanding the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20) and how they can share their faith with those around them despite their fears and without coming across as judgmental.
Series Sessions
Week 1: Why Not?
Week 2: …But How?
Broomball
Come join us for Broomball, a fast-paced, hockey-style game played on ice without skates. This event is open to all middle and high school students for $10 per person, and if you bring a friend who has never been to youth before, your friend gets in free.
We’ll be playing from 6:45 to 7:45 pm on Friday, January 30th. If you need a ride, meet at the church at 6:15 pm; otherwise, meet us at the Parks Mall at 6:30 pm. Pick up at the same place you dropped off!

Week 3: When you need to confront, Jesus shows the way.
