We believe that the Bible has something to say to us today. Each week 6th-12th grade students gather together to discover God's plan for their life. As students come in they break into LIFEgroups by their grade. Each age group is led by adult Student Ministry leaders who are passionate about God and His power to guide us in life. You never know what will happen in LIFEgroup so don't miss it! Studies are presented in a relaxed atmosphere and coupled with church-wide worship services. Join us this Sunday!
Please enter the building at the East entrance or from the lobby. A Red banner will indicate the student entrance.
What would you do if you knew that the world as you know it was coming to an end in a few months, weeks, or days? How would your priorities change? How would you spend your time? This is something we all have probably thought about at one point or another, and believe it or not, a subject that comes up in 1 & 2 Thessalonians. In these letters, Paul reminds his readers that Jesus is coming back, but His return isn’t something we can put a timeline on. Nor is it something followers of Jesus should fear. The reality of Jesus’s future return secures a bright eternal future for all who trust Him. In this study, students will learn how to live a life pleasing to God and how to stay strong in their hope, no matter what comes.

Life in 6 Words is a one-of-a-kind video series that unpacks the gospel message visually and viscerally, practically, and powerfully, focusing on one thing – the gospel.
