Sunday Morning Services

🎉 Hey Middle Schoolers (grades 6–8)! Sunday mornings at LIFE Youth Jr. are packed with awesome moments, tons of laughs, and friendships you'll love! Join us at 10:00am in the Main Sanctuary for worship 🎶, then we'll head over to our Elizabeth Street Building for games 🎲, snacks 🍿, and real conversations about life and faith that actually matter to you. It's the perfect place to hang out, meet new friends, and discover more about yourself and your faith.

Parents, pick-up is at 11:45 AM. Come as you are and get ready for an amazing Sunday—we can't wait to see you there! 🤩✨

Parent FAQ

    1. 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!

    2. 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!)

    3. 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!

  • Our team consists of incredible adults who are passionate about helping your student find faith & 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! ❤️

  • We collect parent info during the check-in process that includes a cell phone number. Our team will send a text message during service should a need arise!

It’s time to get away, breathe deep, and encounter God like never before. This is more than just a weekend trip — it’s a chance to build real friendships, belong to something bigger, and make memories that last.

We’re heading up to the woods for a weekend packed with:

• High-energy challenge courses

• Campfires and s’mores

• Time to unplug and hear from God

• Lots of laughs and late-night hangs

Our guest speaker this year is Nick Scholz, and he’s bringing a powerful, relevant word just for our students.
