Youth Ministry

As you have heard, we have a very full and exciting year ahead of us in youth ministry.  We have lots of exciting new changes taking place especially with our weekly schedule. Student Ministries is adding several new major components throughout the week that will be essential to the goals our church leadership has for the transforming process to take place in the lives of our students. It is our desire to provide the best possible environment for your student to grow in their knowledge and understanding of the Lord and to experience Him and encounter His presence throughout the week.

The Gathering is our weekly worship service where we unite as a generation for one purpose, to seek the face of God. We meet every Sunday night at the MCA North Campus at 6pm.  We invite you to come and be part of a night of fellowship intense worship, preaching, and altar time.

Journey Groups are sermon based small groups for Jr. High and Sr. High students. These groups meet on different nights throughout the week at different times with an emphasis on equipping and encouraging students in their life journey with Christ. They will meet with Team leaders in different leader’s homes where they will build relationships with other students and dig deeper into the understanding of the Sunday Night sermon from The Gathering.

The Next Level is our Sunday morning Jr. High and Sr. High Discipleship class that meets at 11:15 for Friendship time and Breakfast. These classes are designed for students to dive deeper into God’s Word and learn how to apply these truths to their lives.

Nite of the Arts is ministry development night with an emphasis on equipping and encouraging students. These workshops will help students discover and develop their ministry gifts. This group meets on Wednesday night at 7pm at the North Campus. It is our desire to see the arts in all forms released back into the church. Come prepare for ministry to others
