To make disciples for the Lord Jesus Christ by equiping this generation with His Word so they can go out as lights in a dark world.

New Wave Youth is our 6th-12th grade student ministry that meets Sunday nights from 6pm-8pm. New Wave Youth is an environment where young people come together to foster connection and grow in God's word.

Doors open at 6pm where you will be greeted by our Youth Leaders. Our goal is to make all students feel welcome, so no one will go unnoticed.  Service starts at 6:30pm where we enter into worship, followed by an impactful sermon by Pastor Sam. Our messages are structured with students in mind so they can practically apply the truth of the Word in their everyday lives. 

Core groups are our breakout sessions following the sermon. These breakouts are structured for open discussion with the students by asking topical questions regarding the teaching and sharing a call to action to apply these truths in their lives. We end with prayer and a time of connection before they step back into their weekly routine. Below are a list of Core Croups:

• Middle School Boys (6th - 8th)
• Middle School Girls (6th - 8th)
• High school Boys (9th - 12th)
• High school Girls (9th - 12th)
