📚 What We’re Teaching
Series: The Comeback Kid
Everybody loves a good comeback story, and this Easter series, “The Comeback Kid,” brings students face-to-face with the greatest one of all. Over four weeks, students will follow Jesus’ journey through life, death, and resurrection and see how His comeback offers hope, help, and purpose for their own lives. From the miracle of Lazarus to the Resurrection itself, students will discover that Jesus’ story proves His promises are true. This series will inspire them to see that they, too, can experience hope and full life in every part of their life story.
Try This at Home:
Ask your student: “Have you ever thought something had ended, but found out that there was more to it?”
📸 Ministry Win
When a last-minute workday was scheduled to help clean up the church campus, a few of our incredible students didn’t hesitate to jump in. With gloves on and grit in their step, they showed up to serve alongside our property team and made a big impact. It was a beautiful picture of leadership, teamwork, and the kind of servant-hearted faith we love to see in our students. Go, girls!

- Creating Connection Beyond the Walls
- “How can we help our students build deeper relationships outside of our weekly gatherings?” That question led us to launch a Youth Group Chat for both our Middle and High School students.
We’ve chosen to use GroupMe, a messaging platform commonly used by school clubs, sports teams, and extracurricular groups. It’s not a social media platform—there are no public profiles, no followers, and no algorithm-driven content. This choice allows us to create a safe, focused space for students to stay connected throughout the week without crossing any family boundaries around social media.
We believe community doesn’t stop when youth group ends, and we want to offer students a space where encouragement, inside jokes, prayer requests, and friendship can grow.
If you have questions or would like more information, we’re always happy to chat!
