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!

The Bridge

Middle School

Theme: Focus –Each week, we’ll explore passages from Psalms and the Gospels as we challenge
ourselves to focus on practicing four spiritual disciplines that can help us grow. Together, we’ll try focusing on what God has said, on giving something up, on talking to God, and on rest.
Memory Verse: Teach me, Lord, the way of your decrees, that I may follow it to the end. Give me understanding, so that I may keep your law and obey it with all my heart. Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight.” – Psalm 119:33-35 NIV
High School
Series Name: Apologetics
Theme: Apologetics – An introductory study of the historical evidence for the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Reviewing the scientific evidence for the existence of God, and finally leading up to the inerrancy of the Bible as the living breathing word of God.
Memory Verse: “Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it.” 1 Peter 3:15 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 three children in Guatemala through Compassion International: Anyeli, Saraí, and Walter. Our weekly giving will go towards the on-going sponsorship of these children.
