Parent FAQ

Just head to our main campus worship center for worship & the opening parts of service. Your student can stay with you for worship, or join us up front!
After worship, a host will dismiss LIFE Youth Jr (Right around 11:25) & 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.

Pick-up happens at 11:45 a little after service gets out. This gives us a little extra time for the awesome ministry that’s taking place!

Parents, while you are enjoying the message in the main service, your student is enjoying a time of meaningful ministry tailored specifically for them! Each week we have a connecting activity, a message designed just for middle schoolers & intentional time to talk as a group. It’s all about connecting students together & helping them grow in an authentic faith in Christ!
