With all the busyness this season brings, many of our Sunday morning Shepherding groups are taking Sundays off until January 3rd.In light of this, we will not have our regular "student ministries lounge" operating until the 3rd of January. We encourage students to join their families in the sanctuary for the main service for the next 2 weeks until our regular student program resumes.Midweek services will continue as usual, with the exception of the week of January 29th and 30th. We will not have services that week. Instead, your middle school or high school student is welcome to join us at the Horizon boys basketball game on 1/29 at 7:30 at the South Campus to cheer on the Hawks. Admission is $2.

Winter Camp at Washington Family Ranch is back, and it's coming sooner than ever before. A spot at the nation's premiere youth camp, the Washington Family Ranch, opened up on the MLK holiday weekend, so our camp has moved from March to January and has been extended to 3 nights for the same price as 2 nights last year! The only downside is that our registration window closes Sunday, December 13th.

Winter Camp is open to all middle school and high school students. Activities include a high ropes course, skatepark, basketball, volleyball, billiards, a huge swing called "The Screamer," and so much more. More than that, the services give an opportunity to connect with God in new ways and grow deeper in your relationship with Jesus.
