Youth Sunday School This Summer is simple:

  • No phone zone (real fellowship!)
  • A quick devotional and discussion led by an adult

In order for Sunday school to happen, there must be a minimum of two adults present with students for safety. Please consider signing up below so that we can have a summer Sunday School option for youth! Devotionals will be provided by Ellen--all you have to do is be present with our young people!

A youth text will be released each Sunday at 8AM informing whether we had enough adults for that week. If there is not, we will not have Sunday school and you will be informed by the youth text.
Official Schedule for Local Mission week
June 26-July 1
Local Mission Week is coming up June 26-July 1! Here are the answers to some FAQs about Local Mission Week:
  1. Can my child still sign up? YES! We have plenty of spots open for youth of all ages CLICK HERE to sign up.
  2. Are Midyouth and Sr. High on the same schedule? Midyouth (5th-7th) and Sr. High (8th-graduates) have different schedules!
  3. Can my child come to some events and not others? Half days but not full days? Half the week and not the other half? YES! This is our most flexible mission trip model available. We ask that parents and guardians communicate a child's entire weekly schedule before the start of the week so we can plan all project accordingly.
  4. How will my child get to off-site projects? Parent volunteers are needed! We need all hands on deck to make our mission week happen. If each house hold attending had an adult volunteer with one project, we would be completely covered for the entire week!
Sr High (8th-12th) parents are invited to join Ellen and youth volunteers at Hill Station for an evening of fellowship. The pandemic has kept us all from knowing our community--come for an evening to get acquainted or reacquainted with other youth parents!
