Students begin arriving at 6:30pm for hangout time—playing games, connecting with friends and small group leaders, and meeting new people. At 6:45pm, we kick things off in Large Group, where everyone comes together for announcements, a time of worship, and a message from our Students Director, Team Leaders, or a Small Group Leader. Afterward, students break out into small groups, divided by guys and girls. This is where they dive deeper into the message, build meaningful friendships, and pray with one another in a safe, encouraging environment.

Our small groups are designed to be a place where students can belong, where they’re seen, and where they can discover how their one life can make a difference. They provide a safe and welcoming space for students to be real about life, ask honest questions about God, and learn how to follow Jesus together. Our groups are separated by middle school and high school, and also by guys and girls. This helps students build meaningful friendships with peers in their same stage of life, while being encouraged by trusted leaders who are committed to walking alongside them. In small groups, students don’t get lost in the crowd—they’re noticed, known, and cared for. Most importantly, small groups help students grow closer to Jesus while learning how to live out their faith where they live, learn, and play.

On Wednesday, December 17th, middle and high school students from both campuses are coming together for United Night: Christmas Party! While the night will bring festive Christmas fun, it’s ultimately about gathering as one student ministry to celebrate the life-changing truth of Jesus’ birth. Students can look forward to games, food, student-led worship, and a meaningful message designed to challenge and encourage them. We’ll meet at the North Campus from 6:30-8:15pm. It’s going to be an incredible night of celebration, connection, and unity.
