Sunday Mornings

We encourage each student to attend the regular worship service with his family or with a friend’s family, at 9:00 am or at 10:45 am. This is a great opportunity to experience worship and Biblical teaching. Also, at 10:45, there are separate Xtreme Bible Study Classes for 6th grade boys and girls, 7th/8th grade girls, and 7th /8th grade boys. These classes meet in the D-wing. The focus of these classes is to grow in our knowledge of God’s Word and to gain wisdom in applying it to our daily lives.

Wednesday Evenings (Sept-May)

Grace MATRIX meets on Wednesday evenings from 6:00 pm-7:45 pm in the Student Café and Auditorium. Teaching utilizes our student curriculum.

Special Events

A variety of opportunities are provided throughout the year, including the summer months. These allow the students to build relationships with staff, volunteers, and other students. Also, some of these experiences are among the most challenging for a student’s spiritual growth. These include weekend retreats, holiday parties, winter and summer group camps, service/mission projects and trips, athletic events, amusement parks, and other social, physical, and spiritual activities and events.

Coaches/Mentors

One component of our ministry is a team of young adults who are committed to providing attention, spiritual guidance, and companionship to each junior high student. Each coach will focus on 6-8 students and will spend time with them, in addition to Wednesday nights, listening, understanding, and “just being there”.
