Sunday Morning Services
Grades 6 to 8, Sunday mornings. Start at 10:00am in the Main Sanctuary for worship, then walk over to the Elizabeth Street Building for games, snacks, and conversations that do not talk down to you. Middle school is a strange stretch of life. This is a good place to spend part of it.
Parents, pick-up is at 11:45am. Nothing to bring, nothing to prepare.
Who?
Middle school students in grades 6-8! Maybe you come to Word of Life as a family, maybe you don't. Everyone is welcome!
When?
Sunday mornings from 10am to 11:45am.
Where?
We start in the main worship center during worship (feel free to sit up front with us), then we head to our Elizabeth Street Building for the rest!
Parent FAQ: LIFE Youth Jr.
How do I check my student in?
Just head to our main campus worship center for worship and the opening parts of service. Your student can stay with you for worship, or join us up front! After worship, right around 11:25, a host will dismiss LIFE Youth Jr. and your student can join our group in the lobby. Look for the hand-held LIFE Youth Jr. signs! Our team will check your student in and we will walk to the Elizabeth Street Building as a group.
When is pick-up?
Pick-up happens at 11:45, a little after service gets out. This gives us a little extra time for the great ministry that's taking place!
What does the service look like?
While you are in the main service, your student gets a version built for them: something to break the ice, a message pitched at middle schoolers rather than at adults, and real time to talk it through as a group.
Who is on the LIFE Youth Jr. team?
Our team consists of incredible adults who are passionate about helping your student find faith and grow in their relationship with Christ. Each volunteer is a background-checked adult who is uniquely qualified and gifted to work with middle school students!
What if my student has a need during service?
We collect parent info during the check-in process, including a cell phone number. Our team will send a text message during service should a need arise!
Wednesday Night Services
Hey high schoolers (grades 9-12)! Wednesdays at LIFE Youth are all about you: great people, real talk, and tons of fun. Doors open at 6:00pm, so come early to hang out with your friends and enjoy our cafe, stocked with your favorite snacks and drinks. Challenge your friends to ping-pong, foosball, or video games, or just relax and connect in our comfy spaces.
From 6:30 to 8:00pm it is worship, a straight conversation about faith and whatever your week actually looked like, and the kind of friendships that make a Wednesday worth protecting.
Bring a friend. Come as you are, genuinely.
Who?
Any high school student in grades 9-12! Maybe you come to Word of Life as a family, maybe you don't. Everyone is welcome!
When?
Wednesday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30pm. Doors open at 6! Please note: summer gatherings are offsite at various locations. Sign up for Parent Connect to stay informed.
Parent FAQ: LIFE Youth
How does drop-off work?
Just head to our Elizabeth Street Building and pull into the parking lot. Your student can enter using the side door. Doors open at 6pm, and the earlier the better! Students enjoy a time of hanging out, chatting, and playing games together before service begins. If you arrive after 6:30pm, please call the number on the front door to be let in. You can pick your student up right where you dropped them off at 8:00pm!
Who is on the LIFE Youth team?
Adults who love Jesus and have not forgotten what being that age felt like.
Every one has sat through a pastoral interview and cleared a background check before being scheduled. That is not negotiable for us.
Should my student bring anything?
Yourself. That is the whole list.
Stay in touch!
Everything in one place. The At a Glance links show what is coming up for each group, and Parent Connect puts the important dates in your inbox so you are not finding out on the Tuesday before.
