Denver Mission Trip • July 19-26
We’re headed back to Denver, CO, to support a local NAMB church plant: The Living Stone Church. This year, our main focus will be assisting in their VBS-style event, but the week will be packed with much more than just that! For more information, including the criteria for being able to go, click the application link below.

Student Ministry LifeGroups look a little different than they do in the rest of thechurch. Let me give you a glimpse! We meet at 11:00am in the Student Auditorium.We’ll have a welcome/announcement time, play a short game or have time ofworship, followed by a short time of teaching led by our student staff, then dismissto Small Groups.

Small Groups are broken down by age and gender and led by adult volunteers. It’sa time to develop community, as well as dive deeper into the morning’s lesson bybeing able to discuss it as a group. Sunday mornings in the Student Ministry are ablast!

While the goal of Sunday mornings is to be discipleship focused, our goal forWednesday nights is to be outreach focused! 6-12th grade students will meet in theUnderground for a time of hangout at 6:00pm. To better minister to the two different lifestages middle schoolers and high schoolers are in, we’re trying something new thisyear!

At 7:00pm, we’re going to begin having high schoolers meet in one of the Underground classrooms for some small group Bible Study led by our trained Student Leader Team! Middle School students will head up to the Auditorium for games and a lesson time.

We will still have special Midweek nights where both groups will meet togetherthat we’re going to call Collide. And we’ll still have a few Rally nights that aresimply some out of the box, fun nights!
