Sunday School
From Sept. to May at 9:45 (and earlier) the youth gather in room 117 and 118 with a Hospitality Bar (hot chocolate, coffee, sweets, etc.) for fellowship, welcome and announcements from our Director of Youth Ministries, Linzi Anderson. They then disperse into 4 classrooms: 7th grade room 117, 8th grade room 118, 9th/10th grades room 119 and 11th/12th grades room 120. We use Feasting on the Word curriculum which is based on the Revised Common Lectionary that we use in worship.
During the summer months the middle and high school youth meet together for one class.
Sunday Night Summit
Sunday Night at the Summit (SNS) begins downstairs in the youth wing. Adult Participants (APs) will greet students and they will have group gatherings before dispersing into their age specific groups. Dinner is a special part of SNS and will be served at 6:30 pm. The cost per meal is $6 for youth and adults. Meal Packages can be purchased for $40 for Fall semester and $60 for Spring semester or $100 per year. SNS meets Sept. through May.
WNL
Wednesday Night Live (WNL), is our midweek program for our whole church community. The meal begins at 6:00 pm. You are invited to join the table for fellowship and stay for programs. To find out more about WNL check out our "Adult and Churchwide" ministries tab.
