This ministry exists to walk alongside students and their families as they follow Jesus. We are constantly working to connect students to Jesus, help them grow deeper in relationship with Jesus, and equip them to impact the world with Jesus. We do that primarily through groups and classes which you can read more about below!

Where there is shadow, there is light, so the shadows don't have to scare us. As we grow and experience more life, we might find the shadows of doubt or questions creeping towards us. Rather than run from the shadows, we can look to God to cast some light on the situation.

In this 4-week series from the Old and New Testaments, we'll explore how we can step into the light whenever we doubt God's presence. We'll talk about how when we doubt God can be trusted, we can find the light and choose to remember what God has already done. We'll learn how when Jesus’ followers disappoint us, we can step up to be what we don’t see. We'll explore what can happen when we’ve lost hope and how we can ask God to surprise us. And we'll see how even when the shadows make it feel like God’s not listening, we don’t stop praying.

Supernova will be a memorable and powerful week for Middle Schoolers to have fun, build friendships, and take their next steps with Jesus!
