Wednesday Nights 

7:00 - 8:30 PM | Upstairs in the Foxhoven Building

Middle school (6th–8th grade) and high school (9th–12th grade) students receive weekly, biblical teaching and worship in the large group gathering. In age and gender-specific small groups, students talk about biblical passages and topics, learn how to grow in their spiritual life, and have space to ask for prayer or confess sin. 

Wednesday night series: Living the Dream: The same God who lives in close relationship with us through covenant relationship also calls us to the responsibility of representing Him by exercising the Kingdom authority and power which He gives us. We are charged to be ambassadors and emissaries who represent our King in the world. And as we live out this one charge by being in charge thanks to God’s authority and power, we will see God’s Kingdom come on earth as it is in Heaven.

  • Week 1 – Depths of Despair (Genesis 37:12-36)
  • Week 2 – Glimmers of Hope (Genesis 39:21-40:23)
