LiveWire now meets at 9:30am AND 11:15am in Building A!!!!!!

LiveWire:  Live Wire is for students in 6th, 7th or 8th grade.  Live Wire meets at 9:30 a.m. and 11:15am on Sunday mornings in Building A.  Students will leave with a big picture of how God has worked since the beginning of time, and is still working today and in their lives! Diving into the Word, the students will understand the unconditional love of God and how their life can play a crucial part of God’s story.  Learning the basic principles repeated throughout scripture, the students will have a strong foundation and will be able to make their faith personal.  They will learn to "find and follow Christ"!

For the next two weeks Ryan will be teaching for both services in LiveWire. Join him for the two-week series "Walk a Mile".

High School Ministry (HSM)

Our High School Ministry Team seeks to provide an opportunity for every high school student to find and follow Christ.  HSM hopes to cultivate an environment for high school students to seek, hear, and respond to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  This generation is searching and seeking for so much more than this world has to offer and HSM is a place where they can ask questions and find answers. HSM is a discipleship program being led by Pastor Chris and our youth leaders. By developing relationships and being godly influences in the students' lives, these leaders are committed to showing the love of Christ in a genuine and contagious way.

We encourage our high school students to serve -- in the world, in the community, and in our church.
