For Students


Through small groups, friendships and connections are made with others. Without small groups students can get lost in the crowd. As many youth leaders say, small groups are the backbone of youth ministry. Small groups for our teens meet at the following time and place listed:
Girls Small Group on the first and third Tuesdays of each month, from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. at Jenine Preston’s home.  
Sr. High Boys Small Group meets every other Saturday starting January 28 from 8:30-10:00 a.m. at the Preston’s.
Jr. High Boys Small Group meets January 28, February 4, 18 at 8:30-10:00 a.m.
at the South Campus.  Contact Nate Johnson with questions.

Tonight at Frontline
Jeremiah 33:3 "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know." 

As Frontline leaders we are very aware that prayer is one of the most talked about and least practiced disciplines in the Christian life. Because of this, we have worked hard to model prayer dependence on God to our students. We have intentionally made prayer a vital part of every Frontline meeting. Tonight, we have planned an exciting night of "hands on" prayer. We will load up in vans travel to several places in town for special prayer times. We will be praying for the schools, the government, the homeless and prisoners, as well as the various churches in our community. This night will be very impactful for all involved. Students and parents please make sure that your permission slips are filled out and turned in tonight!

Man On The Move


 Action. Involvement. Movement. Engagement. Service. 

The Gospel by Mark is a record of virtually non-stop activity carried out at a rapid-fire pace. The key term repeated over 40 times in this first account of the life of Jesus, the Servant of God, is EUTHUS, the Greek word for “immediately.”  Being the shortest of the four gospel accounts, Mark wastes neither time nor words as he portrays the Savior at work, continually serving others.

The tone of the writer is practical, not mystical or philosophical, which had an appeal to the industrious Roman mind. The lack of emphasis on anything pertaining to the Jewish ancestry of Jesus makes good sense, since Mark’s audience is mainly the Gentile reader.

While others refer to Jesus as “Lord” and “King,” Mark prefers “Master,” again underscoring the vocabulary of a servant.

The hinge of the book pivots on a single verse, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” (10:45).

Join us on Sunday mornings (10:30) as we take a look at "Jesus On The Move" as Jesus spent his life involved and serving in the lives of others.
