Inviting the next generation to take their next steps with Jesus
About High School Ministry
In High School Ministry (HSM), we understand that a student's high school years can be full of ups and downs. Yet, through these years, a student can establish a foundation of faith which can be built upon for the
rest of their lives. If you're new to HSM and want more information, please click the "Get Connected" button.
Upcoming Events
HSM on Wednesdays
High School Ministry meets on Wednesday nights during the school year for a time of worship and teaching. Afterwards, we break into Life Groups. Doors open at 6:30 with service starting at 7:00. Life Groups finish up around 9:00pm.
HSM will be on a break for the summer starting May 24th, but will return August 9!
Life Groups
We believe some of the greatest spiritual growth and development happens in the context of authentic and consistent relationships. Life Groups consist of 2-3 adult leaders and 8-10 students of the same age and gender and meet on Wednesday nights as a part of HSM. Our hope is that students move from meeting one night a week to truly living life together. For more information, contact Emma Adams.
Life Groups will be on a break for the summer starting May 24th. Registration for 2023-24 groups will open in July. 
SUMMER NIGHTS
