BIBLE STUDY:

Sunday mornings we are walking through the Old Testament and trying to hit the highlights in one semester. Obviously, taking 18 weeks to study the entire Old Testament is impossible, but we hope that this will at least broaden our students understanding the Old Testament and the characters that present themselves throughout it. Along with this, we want to see Jesus through the lens of the Old Testament and how the entire OT not only sets up, but directly looks at the Cross. We're excited about this time of study each week.

~YEARN...My soul YEARNS for you in the night; my spirit within me earnestly seeks you. Isaiah 26:9 YEARN is our weekly Wednesday night Bible Study. The heartbeat of this ministry and this time together is that Middle and High School students would continue to yearn after the Lord with everything in them, that day and night they would be seeking the Lord with all of who they are. We hope to see kids ignite a passion in their hearts for Jesus Christ and YEARN is one of the ways we hope to see this achieved.

Our praise band is led by many of our students. If you're interested in playing, let Caleb know.

Youth Handbells and Choir meet on Sunday afternoons at 4 pm and 4:45 pm. Snack Supper is served at 5:45 pm. If you'd like to join, just show up!

~-D-Groups are meeting each week this year. Broken into four groups - 7th/8th grade girls, 7th/8th grade guys, 9th-12th grade girls and 9th-12th grade guys, each group has come up with a topic or a study that is significant for them. They will spend the semester wrestling through their top.
