Grades 9-12

Every fall, our high school girls and guys each have their own weekend retreat at the beach! It’s a time for them to get away and refocus their eyes on Jesus.

Grades 6-12

Every winter, our middle and high school students take a break from the busyness of life for a wintery weekend of fun with friends and encouragement from the Word.

Rising 6th Graders

Level Up is an orientation event for rising 6th grade students and their parents to get to know our Student Ministry staff and see just how much fun they’re going to have!

Grades 7-12

Every summer, our middle and high school students have their own week of camp. Strategically scheduled at the end of the summer, it’s the perfect opportunity for students to be inspired, encouraged, and equipped to start the school year strong for Jesus.
