STUDENT LIFE is dedicated to helping 5th-12th grade students experience the life-changing love of Jesus Christ. All we do is aimed at helping them establish and grow in a relationship with him that will carry them throughout their adult lives.

 

 

Sundays from 9:30-10:30 AM  in  Room 220

When students graduate from 56, our prayer is that they can say “my faith is my own!” Not my parents’, not a nice idea- but something I care about, am committed to, and have tools to grow with. We are giving them foundational knowledge of the Gospel, the Bible (and how to use it), and why Jesus matters to them.

Students will play hard, learn a ton, and connect that learning to their lives during small group time.  There are many fun activities and service opportunities for students outside of church, too! We can’t wait to see you there.

Our purpose for Life Groups is to help students engage God’s word in a supportive community so that it becomes real and transformational in their lives. Nothing is as powerful as God’s word. When a student knows, relies on, and lives it out, their whole life is changed!

Trained, safe, and loving adults help facilitate each group. Some of the deepest and most meaningful connections happen in Life Groups. Join yours today!

 

 

Sundays from 10:30-12:00

Student Ministries Room

Commons is a worship service designed just for teens (7th-12th grade).

God is creative and active, so in this worship service, we are too! Come sing with the band, hear great teaching, and experience God as you learn to connect with him in new and different ways.

Our goal is that students will not just learn ABOUT God, but they will get to know him, and how to incorporate spiritual practices and knowledge into their lives. When students graduate, we pray they will know that God is real to them, and that they will passionately live out the purpose he has for their lives.

 

Parents

Parents. You are still the number one influence in your child’s life, even if you don’t feel like it. We love your student and we love YOU. And we deeply desire to come along side of your whole family to encourage and support you as you follow Jesus together.

Whether Jesus is the head of your household or you’re barely hanging on, we have open arms and resources for you to take the next step in creating a healthy, Christ-centered home.

Check out the cool resources below, or get in touch with us. We’d love to pray with you, brag on your student, and encourage you in any way we can.
