YOUTH MINISTRY
Central Youth Ministry exists for students to learn what it means to participate in the Kingdom of God. Together, we are learning about the nature and character of God and how our lives can be transformed in light of this. We focus on who God is and who we are becoming because of what God is doing in our lives. We have hope that the same God who is redeeming all things is redeeming each of us, our community, and our world. We gather together each week to be reminded of that, to be in faithful community with one another, and to be sent into the world with a renewed spirit. In middle school ministry we love to play, laugh, learn, and be together. We would LOVE for you to join us!

Life Groups
Every Sunday from 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM middle school and high school students gather in the Upper West Commons to learn from Scripture, Christian thought leaders, and each other. The format is typically discussion-based as we dive into either a book of the Bible, discipleship book, cultural analysis, or a topical series.
6th - 8th Grade Students meet in Room 224
9th - 12th Grade Students meet in Room 226
