Note to Parents: Our strategy is to walk alongside parents to help them disciple their student(s). We do this by equipping students to know, love, and follow Christ. Part of how we do this is to create a community where students think deeply about Christ, glorify God in all things, and by taking the Gospel to the nations. Gatherings There is no formal "check-in" for the student ministry. On Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings, students will go to our student space to spend time in community, bible study, and prayer. Connect Each month there are numerous opportunities for students to connect with others outside of weekly scheduled gatherings. See the events section below to explore how your student(s) can connect with us. Sundays : 9:00am | Wednesdays : 5:30-7:30pm Curriculum The Incarnation (Fall) — Wednesdays / Sundays This series takes students on a journey through the birth of Jesus, following the outline of The First Days of Jesus by Andreas J. Kostenberger. Each week, we’ll explore a different aspect of the incarnation, discovering how God’s promise of a Messiah in the Old Testament was fulfilled in Christ. We’ll see that Jesus’ birth wasn’t just a story from the past—it’s a key part of God’s plan to redeem His people and restore our relationship with Him. Through engaging teaching, discussion, and activities, this series helps students connect the story of Jesus’ birth to their own lives. It’s a chance to see how His coming fits into the bigger picture of Scripture and to understand what it means to follow Him today. Students will leave encouraged, inspired, and reminded that the same God who fulfilled His promise long ago is actively working in their lives now.
