Purpose:

Merge Student Ministry is for students from 7th-12th grade. Whether you don't yet know God, are seeking to learn more about who God is, or are already a Christian, we welcome you where you are. In all that Merge Ministries does, we seek to follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ and engage in a personal relationship with the one true God. Our foundational goal is to make and help mature students to be disciples of Jesus. To do this, we emphasize knowing the story of God (the Bible), loving our neighbors because He first loved us (the greatest commandment), and encouraging one another to be transformed by the salvation offered to us through Jesus Christ (the Gospel).

We have two main gatherings (and an occasional third):

Youth Group: Youth Group is from 7-8pm every Wednesday night in Big Red (the big brick building). But the doors open at 6:30 for anyone who wants to come and hang out before the service kicks off! This midweek gathering is geared towards giving students a time to have fun, worship God together, and most importantly, open their Bibles and hear a message designed for them.

Sunday School: Sunday School meets at 9:45 on Sunday mornings to gather together and dive into God's word on a deeper level. The intention of this time is to allow a more focused, dialogue, question based, study on God's word than what is offered at Youth Group.

Sunday Nights: There is a Sunday night service offered each week from 6-7pm in the sanctuary which students are encouraged to attend. Occasionally there will also be special events for students on Sunday nights! Follow our social media pages (referenced below) to stay up to date on these events!

Other Great Opportunities:

Our students participate in a variety of activities throughout the year.  Which include Youth Camps, DNOW, Mission Trips, Service Projects and lots of other great opportunities to grow in the Lord.
