As we conclude our series through the Bible, we will explore the exciting conclusion of the story of God: Jesus is victorious. Not only did Jesus prove His power over sin and death by rising from the dead, he also promises to come back and reign forever. The final scene of the Bible shows us that the love of God is stronger than death and that when Jesus reigns forever, he will set everything right.
Read MoreTonight is One on one night, which is an opportunity for HS students to have a quick one on one conversation with their small group leader. This will help the small group leader hear about how they are doing, where they are at in life and in faith, and how we as a ministry can help them grow! While leaders are meeting with their students, the other students will have an opportunity to connect with other HS students before/after their one on one time.
Read MoreAs we work through the New Testament and read about the early Jesus followers, we are going to learn about some of the tensions between the Jewish Jesus followers and the Gentiles who were interested in following Jesus. Through a vision about unclean animals, God confronts Peter’s favoritism and tells him to welcome Cornelius (a Gentile) into the family of God. As we walk through the story, some students will be challenged to invite people into God’s family, while others will be reminded that if they have felt counted out by others, God still welcomes them to Himself!
Read MoreAs we conclude our intro series for the year, we will look at the difference between knowing God as an observer and knowing Him as His child.

Students who have been keeping God at a distance will be challenged to claim their identity as children of God!
Read MoreThe realities of the broken world we live in are very real. We see the impact of sin around the world, in our households, and in our own hearts.

Read MoreThis week is a discussion night! This is time set aside to open our Bible, engage in conversation, and grow closer to Jesus, not only as listeners, but as participants! In our conversation about the fruits of the spirit, students will discuss two “weeds” that could choke our growth towards being who God has called us to be: Legalism and Sinful Nature. In talking about both of these extremes, we will remember that both need the truth of the Gospel.
Read MoreAs we continue our series about the story of God, we will explore how Adam and Eve were deceived into disobeying God and students will be reminded that we have an enemy who wants to disrupt our pursuit of God. The good news is that God had a plan to move toward the brokenness – He still moves towards the brokenness today.
Read MoreYou can know something with your brain without continuously taking the time to get to know it. It’s the same with the Holy Spirit; while our students might kind of, sort of, understand who the Holy Spirit is, we believe that we are called to continuously get to know Him. During this series, we will get to know who He is and explore what it looks like to spend time with Him.
Read MoreThe Bible is a big book and can feel challenging to understand, but did you know it tells one story? During this series, we will look at each major scene of the story and, use the animal that represents that scene as a visual to show our students that they can understand the story of God!
