Know Our Lingo
- the Underground AM: Sunday mornings, from 9:00-10:30. From 9:00-9:25 we offer continental breakfast and a time for fellowship, before gathering for the program. The program includes music worship, an inspiring biblical message, and a variety of other aspects from video announcements and skits, to student Minutes for Witness. Middle and high school students are combined for everything but the message.
- the Underground PM: Sunday evenings, from 5:00-7:00 for middle school, and 6:30-8:30 for high school. This is a unique time of fellowship and discipleship in the forms of hanging out, eating yummy snacks, group games, and biblical discussion with D/C groups.
- D/C Groups: Short for Discipleship/Community groups. D/C groups are the student ministries version of small groups. Every group is made up of 8-12 students of same gender and similar age, and 1-2 same gender adult leaders. Groups grow in Christ together through biblical discussion and sharing life together, as they get to know one another throughout the year.
- Hub Events: Events geared towards building relationships through fun activities. They take place once a month, typically on Friday evenings for middle school, and Sunday evenings for high school. Some Hub Events are middle and high school combined.
- Youth Worship Ministries: These ministries include the Youth Choir, Youth Orchestra, Celebration Handbells, Liturgical Dancers, Drama Team, and Worship Teams. The Youth Choir leads worship weekly for the 8:00 am Sunday worship service, while Youth Orchestra and Liturgical Dancers join them once a month. Celebration Handbells, Worship Teams and the Drama Team participate for special occasions.
