"Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example to all in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity." - 1 Timothy 4:12
Why are Wednesdays the best night of the week?
Because that’s when 412 happens! Connect with other students. Get to know adults who are genuinely interested in your life. And learn more about God and why He cares about you. Oh, and we can’t forget the cafe, music, and games (prizes included).
A place to learn, build relationships, and live for a purpose bigger than yourself!
Times
6th-8th grade @ 4-5:15 pm
9th-12th grade @ 7:30-9 pm
We are making a change to our Catechism program! Beginning in Fall 2027, Catechism will be offered to our 9th graders rather than 8th graders. Students will meet every Sunday during the 11am service in the youth center throughout the school year.
We will be engaged in conversations every week about Biblical truths. We want to help students ask questions, think about how they are supposed to live in response to the biblical truths, and set them up for success in their faith.
This is important! We live in a culture and world where students (even in the Church) are biblically illiterate, don’t know why the believe what they believe, and according to the Barna Group, roughly 70% of high school students who enter college as professing Christians, will leave with little to no faith. 50% of those that leave their faith do it within the first semester of college. Going through Catechism doesn’t guarantee that students will not face hardships in life. We are helping them create a Biblical foundation where they can own their own faith. When they can own their own faith and know why, this helps create a strong foundation, so when the storms of life hit, they still have a strong foundation and relationship with Jesus!
This is a great opportunity for ninth graders to build a Biblical foundation and own their own faith!
If you have any questions, please contact our Youth Pastor Quinton Gold!

This will be one of our biggest events of the year, so we'll see you there!!

WHY REALITY?
Everyone has a worldview—a set of beliefs about what is actually true and how the world works. Christianity is one worldview, but how do we know if it’s true?
At REALITY Conference, students will explore how Christianity lines up with reality, from the origins of the universe and life to truth, morality, purpose, and the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Christianity isn’t make-believe—it’s a faith grounded in reality. Come discover why we believe Christianity is the best explanation for the world around us.
Who: 9th–12th Graders
More detals coming soon!
There is no Youth Group due to Thanksgiving break. We will see you December 2rd!
