Community Groups
***ON BREAK FOR THE SUMMER. They will resume in September 2025.***
Community groups are intimate gatherings organized by gender and grade level. They meet at various times and locations, each guided by different leaders. Our goal is for these groups to foster meaningful connections among students, deepen their understanding of God, and provide opportunities for enjoyable fellowship. Below are the current dates for our community groups. If you have any questions or need more information, please don't hesitate to contact our youth staff.

bible reading plan
As we continue to connect students to Jesus, each other, and the world, the Youth Ministry staff would like to invite students to engage with the Bible Project Reading Plan! This plan is designed to take the reader through the Bible in a year. One of the ways we get to know God is by learning His Word, and this reading plan can be a helpful tool towards understanding God better.
For more information, use the links below to find the plan, along with instructions and helpful aids to use as you walk through the Bible. We have also provided links to podcasts and an audio Bible with the hope that these will be other helpful tools for engaging the Bible in your own time!
