All right, now about us!!!



We have a stated goal of getting everyone closer to God in a way that is still fun and relevant to non-adults. To do that, we recently rebuilt our Sunday morning “Sunday School” to match our newer Wednesday night teen club format. We typically spend the first half of our meetings hanging out together to talk, having a few laughs, and playing some sports or games. The last half of our time is spent in a teaching time and worship session. The more relaxed atmosphere is making it easier for visitors to feel welcome while also encouraging everyone to get involved in the group discussions, teaching times, and worship sessions.  We also plan fun activities during the year. 




From a parent’s perspective, our group is emphasizing a personal relationship with Christ in a format that avoids the comparison of church being like school. From a teen’s perspective, our group is a place to have fun while also being individually challenged to meet Christ and progress in a personal walk with Him.
