Youth week is an epic, energetic, and intentional week designed specifically for 6th - 12th grade students. Combining some of our favorite youth events, Lockzilla and summer camp, we are creating a space for students to have an affordable week to encounter Jesus and have a ton of fun! This week will be filled with live worship, intentional preaching from God’s Word, competitive games, fun tournaments, good food, and even better friendships. Open to all students, our hope is to help students see that in Christ they are built different and are called to live for Jesus by leading the way in their schools, friend circles, and families.
We don't want any students to miss out because of finances! If financial assistance is needed to attend, please email

Youth Week Schedule:
6PM-12AM
Each night will consist of preservice hangs, a worship experience, breakout sessions, backyard battleground, post service hangs, and a late-night activity.
What do the things on the schedule mean?
Pre Service Hangs: Food is available, the snack shack is open, the merch shop is open, free time games and activities.
Backyard Battleground: Everyone loves some good competition! The Backyard Battlegrounds are epic, fun, and competitive games between 2 color teams. The students will be divided before youth week by grades and will compete all week for the ultimate battleground bragging rights!
Worship Experiences: These are what we are all about! We love the fun, but these worship experiences are going to be covered in prayer, very intentional, designed for students, and calling them to live a life in alignment with Jesus! Our focus during youth week will be looking at the idea of being "built different" as followers of Jesus and what the means for how we live our lives daily in the world around us. These moments might just change students' lives forever, and we are here for it.
Breakout Sessions: small group sessions by age groups with leaders to reflect and further call them to live in surrender to Jesus.
Post-Service Hangs: Food is available, the snack shack is open, the merch shop is open, free time games and activities. But wait, there’s more. During post service hangs, there will be highlight tournament/event every night and the winner will receive awards on the last night of youth week!
Late Night Activity: Who doesn’t love a good late night hangout session? A different activity planned for each night for students to hangout, have fun, laugh, and have community!
