Wednesday nights are better together. 🙌

Come hang out, have some fun, bring a friend, and deepen your understanding so we can deepen our relationship with our Creator.

Parents & Students,

We will not be meeting at the youth center this Wednesday May 06, 2026!

Instead, we’ll be joining our church family for a church-wide event at the Skate Place:

1917 W M-55
West Branch, MI 48661

The cost will be covered , just check in with me when you arrive and I’ll get you set up with skates.

If you’d like snacks or drinks, please bring some extra money.

Looking forward to being together as a community.

Tonight we’re back; week two.

We’re talking about what it actually means to live with the Holy Spirit’s power, not just know about it.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, worn out, or like you’re trying to carry this on your own… this is for you.

6:00–7:30. Youth Center.

Show up. Let’s go.

Tonight. 6:00–7:30 PM. Youth Center.

We’re kicking off a brand new 3-week series on the Holy Spirit.

Not hype. Not weird. Not confusing.
We’re going back to the beginning, who He is, what He does, and why it actually matters for your life right now.

If you’ve ever wondered:
“Is God actually with me?”
“Why do I feel stuck sometimes?”
“Is there more to following Jesus than just trying harder?”

This is for you.

Come ready to hang, worship, laugh a little, and lean in.
Bring a friend(s)

Let’s go.

We’re looking forward to being back together next Wednesday from 6:00–7:30 PM as we continue our Known series. Can’t wait to see you there!

Last night at Winter Jam was nothing short of exhilarating 🙌

From powerful worship to incredible performances, it was an unforgettable experience. The bands brought so much energy, and even more importantly, our students showed up with amazing attitudes. Truly proud of this group.

Moments like these remind me why this ministry matters, seeing students engage, connect, and experience God together is something special.

Thank you to all the parents for trusting us with your students. That trust means a lot, and we don’t take it lightly.

Grateful for a night full of worship, community, and memories that will stick 🔥

We had a great night at Student Ministry this Wednesday (6–7:30pm). We continued our conversation on false identity vs. real identity, challenging students to think about where they find their value, and reminding them that their true identity is found in Christ alone.

Afterward, many of our students stuck around (not all represented in the photo) and served by helping pack eggs for our Children’s Ministry Easter egg hunt coming up on Easter Sunday. 1700+ eggs total so far packed church wide 🤯 It was awesome to see them step up, serve, and be part of something bigger than themselves.

Proud of this group 🙌

You are fully known by the one true God.

But here’s the question…

Do you know you?

Have you ever really stopped and looked beneath the surface,
the raw, unfiltered, honest reality of your heart?

What drives you?
What shapes you?
What makes you… you?

Over the next few weeks, Pastor Derrick will be unpacking what it means to be known by God and how that shapes our identity in Christ Jesus.

This isn’t surface-level.
This is real, deep, life-defining stuff.

Come join us.
