NextGen Student Ministries
NextGen is the place where students can come to connect with each other and God. We gather for weekly youth group on Sunday nights. We also have activities throughout the year where our students and leaders can build relationships and have fun. NextGen is family. Come join us!

What's Being Taught!
Here is what we will be discussing with yours students this Summer!
The Bridge (5-6th)
Series: Origin Story
Series Description: We can trust God. Looking back at the beginning of God’s Big Story and seeing how God kept His promises then gives us confidence to trust that He will be with us now.
Memory Verse: Faith is being sure of what we hope for. It is being sure of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1
Middle School (7th-8th)
Series: One Small Step
Series Description: It’s easy to feel like we’re not making progress in life. One Small Step is all about teaching students how to close the gap between where they are and where God is calling them. It highlights three stories of faithfulness from Hebrews 11 and shows how to biblically move forward even when we’re unclear about where we’re going.
Memory Verse: Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see. 2 Through their faith, the people in days of old earned a good reputation. – Hebrews 11:1-2 NLT
High School (9th-12th)
Series: Bones
Series Description: Ezekiel’s vision of the Valley of Dry Bones in Ezekiel 37 is a powerful moment in the Old Testament that teaches us about the heart of God. This three-week exegetical series discusses the truths of prophecy and revival through Ezekiel’s vision of the Valley of Dry Bones.
Memory Verse: 13 I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. – Romans 15:13 NLT
Parent Resource
Parent Cue App
Parent Cue is an effective tool to engage your students with the content we go over on Sunday evenings! Download the app, put in our church, and enjoy having conversations with your students!
NextGen Compassion Sponsorship
We want our students to develop generosity and believe that generosity takes practice. NextGen wants to provide a space for this. Every week at youth group we will receive an offering. In addition to giving in-person the students can also give online. Use the "other" category to give.
NextGen sponsors in Guatemala through Compassion International: Carlos. Our weekly giving will go towards the on-going sponsorship of Carlos.
