The Basics

+Why are you splitting Middle School and High School?

• Middle School begins Wednesday, August 19
• High School begins Sunday, August 23

+When is the last combined youth night?

The final combined Wednesday night will be August 12.

+What nights will each ministry meet?

+Where will each ministry meet?

Getting Started

+Do I need to register again?

No registration is required for weekly youth services. If you're already connected, just show up on the correct night.

+Will worship, games, and teaching still be part of youth?

Yes! Each ministry will have worship, biblical teaching, small groups, and fun activities — just tailored to the specific age group.

+Can students invite friends?

Absolutely! This is a great time to invite friends to Kickoff Night.

For Families

+Will Middle School and High School ever be together?

Yes! While weekly gatherings will be separate, there will still be opportunities throughout the year for combined events, special nights, camps, and other church-wide gatherings.

+What if I have siblings in both ministries?

We know this changes family schedules, and we appreciate your flexibility. Our hope is that separate ministries will better serve both age groups while still providing opportunities for families to stay connected.

+Will students stay with the same small group leader?

Whenever possible, we'll work to provide consistency in small groups while also ensuring students are placed in groups that best fit their grade and stage of life.
