September thru April
We want to help facilitate our students in their own gospel-centered spiritual formation. On Wednesday evenings we gather together to socialize, worship, spend time in the Bible, and connect in small group atmospheres.
Wednesday evenings provide fun, energetic atmospheres with dynamic adult leaders that come alongside our students in their individual faith walks.
Doors open at 6:00.
Lesson, Worship, and Small Groups begin at 6:45.
Small groups are typically done by 8:00, and doors are closed at 8:30.
