Rooted is our pastor/student apologetics retreat that began in 2012. Pastor Wyman leads us through different aspects of apologetics as he gives us tools to defend our faith. This is a weekend our students look forward to each year. Location changes from year to year, but you can count on bonfires, great food, and great worship.
Rooted 2022 will be January 7-9, at Spring Lake Camp in Lonsdale, AR.

ELEVATE
MidWeek Student Worship
Elevate happens every Wednesday night from 6:00 pm – 7:10 pm for 7th- 12th Grade!
7th – 8th Grade meets in the Fellowship Hall at 6:00 pm.
9th – 12th Grade meets in the Underground at 6:00 pm.
Our midweek gathering consists of the teaching of God’s Word, worship, fellowship, and small group discipleship.
Elevate MidWeek Series
We want students to hear God’s word through biblical teaching, understand how to apply it through intentional conversations, practice living it out through discipleship and missions, so that they would graduate from our student ministry owning their faith with the confidence of Christ.
