    Sunday Night Youth Worship Night

    We’re excited to invite students to our Sunday Night Youth Worship Night on Sunday, December 8th at 6:00pm in the Youth Lounge! This will be a meaningful evening featuring live worship for the very first time in this newly adapted space.


    This special event is a wonderful opportunity for students to come together in praise and reflection as we look forward to a new season in our ministry. Starting January 8th, we’ll be shifting our weekly gatherings from Sunday evenings to Wednesday nights, and this night of worship is the perfect way to prepare for what’s ahead!


    We can’t wait to worship with your students and celebrate all that God is doing in our church, schools, and community. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
