Not for Profit is our time for 6th-12th graders to connect in relevant and engaging ways with the Gospel.  We try to create a nurturing environment for students to be disciples.  We utilize a live band, games, skits, multi-media, discussion groups, and a relevant message.  We meet on Wednesday nights from 6:30-8:30 pm. 

Our goals are to:

            •           Challenging the teenage mindset with God's perspective

            •           Create a comfortable place for students to connect

            •           Lead students to express their relationship with God through worship

            •           Communicate God's truth in a relevant way

            •           Encourage spiritual growth through healthy friendships

            •           Develop a team of mentors to help students grow

            •           Create an environment that students feel safe to bring their friends

A typical breakdown of our time together can look like this-

            6:30-6:45 gathering time

            6:45-7:10 games, skits, visual activities

            7:10-7:40 singing and worship

            7:40-8:00 message/teaching

            8:00-8:30 discussion groups

Not for Profit is going to host once a month a time to hang out, have fun, be crazy, and just laugh.  These events will usually take place on a Friday night (but can take place on a Saturday).  They will vary in activity each month.   This is a great place for students to bring their friends.

Not for Profit also hosts a once a month service activity.   This can be packing boxes at World Vision (ww.worldvision.com) , working at a food bank, doing home repair, or any various service opportunity that arises.

Students 9th-12th grade can also commit to a once a week Bible Study/Small Group.  Times and dates vary.  Please contact
