The Story of the Bible | @ Middle School Sunday Morning Gathering
Since the fall, we've been going through the story of the bible. We believe that helping students understand the narrative flow of the bible and helping them to realize they have a place in that story today will help them to better make their faith their own.

The Big Questions - A 4 week series diving into our biggest questions about life and faith | @ MERGE
This curriculum uses research from Fuller Youth Institute, which revealed huge opportunities for the church to walk with a generation as they ask "Who am I?, "Where do I fit in?", and "Do I matter?". This series will spark new discipleship conversations as teens discover Jesus-centered answers to their biggest questions of identity, belonging, and purpose.

Plot Twist - A 6 week series in preparation for Easter | @ Basic
A good plot twist can keep us entertained, but it can do a lot more than that, too. A good plot twist can make us rethink everything we thought we knew, see things in a brad new light, and get excited about what might happen next. That's never more true than in the most surprising and significant plot twist in history -- Jesus' death and resurrection. In this six-week series, we'll learn that when life takes unexpected turns, God gives us help. And even when we've messed up or are ready to give up, Jesus never turns away from us, but gives us life, gives us hope, is with us, and gives us another chance.

Stop Languishing
Languishing. It's a feeling we've all experienced, even if we've never assigned it this title. It's the feeling of joylessness, doom-scrolling, and generally living day-to-day uninspired. Organizational psychologist Adam Grant has some helpful, video game-based research that might just help us to find a way out of our languishing.
