Road Trip
Road Trip is our annual summer trip for middle school and high school students. It is an unforgettable week filled with adventures, fun, worship, small groups, friendships, and opportunities to grow closer to God. This year we are traveling down to the Smoky Mountains! Students can expect everything from games and campfires to meaningful discussions, delicous food, outdoor activities, and plenty of memories that will last long after the trip is over.
Road Trip 2026 is happening July 26–August 1, and this year’s theme is “The Way: Walking in Truth.” For more information and to register, visit the Road Trip page.
Sunday Mornings
High School Disciple Hour
Our High School Disciple Hour meets every Sunday from 9:00–10:00am and is led by April Steichen. This group is a place for students to dive deeper into God’s Word, ask honest questions, and grow in their faith together. Each week includes Bible study, discussion, and practical application as students learn how to follow Jesus in everyday life. It is also a great place to build friendships, connect with leaders, and encourage one another.
Middle School Disciple Hour
Our Middle School Disciple Hour meets every Sunday from 9:00–10:00am and is led by Frank Micheli and Brian Beck. This group is designed to help students understand the Bible, grow in their relationship with God, and build friendships with one another. Each week includes engaging lessons, discussion, and activities that help students connect what they are learning to their everyday lives. It is a fun and welcoming environment where middle school students can belong, ask questions, and grow in their faith together.
StuCo
StuCo meets every Sunday evening from 4:00–5:30pm and is our combined middle school and high school student ministry gathering. StuCo is a fun, energetic, and welcoming place where students can build friendships, play games, worship together, and grow in their faith. It is a more laid-back environment where any given week could include crazy custom sandwiches, pancake night, a pizza party, or some goofy games.
At StuCo, we are following along with the rest of the church through Bible360, a three-year journey through the entire Bible. Each week, students discuss the same readings the church is studying, helping them see the bigger story of Scripture and how God’s Word connects to their everyday lives.
We also love making first-time students feel welcome. Every student who visits for the first time gets the chance to try “The Impossible Shot” for an opportunity to win an Amazon gift card. Come and check it out!
Big Sister Small Group
Big Sister is a special small group for 4th–7th grade girls that meets on Mondays from 6:30–8:00pm. It creates space for connection, encouragement, and mentorship as younger girls are paired with older girls to help build friendships, offer support, and create a sense of belonging within our ministry.
Through fun activities, conversations, study, prayer, and simply spending time together, Big Sister helps girls grow in their faith and relationships while learning from one another. It is a great way for girls to feel known, encouraged, and connected.
