The Bridge (6th - 8th Grade)

The Audacity of Friendship (Community Life 2)
The most amazing thing that Jesus said may be "I have called you friends" (John 15:15). Unfortunately, the meaning of friendship has changed many times since the moment those words were spoken. Today, most of our models of relationship come from mid twentieth century psychology, which was hostile to faith - but there is a better way.

Financial Peace University (Community Life 3)
If you've ever felt like you just can't get in control of your money, you're not alone. You'd be surprised how many people you know are struggling just like you. But it's time for your struggle to end—starting today. Join Financial Peace University class and learn how you can pay off debt, save more money, and build wealth. * Registration Required, CLICK HERE.

Love Talk (Community Life 4)
Do you ever feel like your spouse is speaking in a foreign language? Do you know when to talk and when to clam up? Do you long to experience a stronger relationship and better communication in your marriage?  Get ready to crack the code of your personal talk styles.

Happy Hour (Meeting Room)
Life is busy.  It can be difficult to get to know other people and develop friendships, especially if you have kids!  Join us and other parents/caregivers for Happy Hour!   Happy Hour starts with a short devotional and the rest of the time is to connect with others in the midst of the chaos of life. 

Where'd Your Bible Come From? (Student Ministry Worship Center)
How did a collection of writings written more than 2000 years ago end up in your lap in a language you can understand? But, more importantly, why do we care about it? Join us as we explore the history of the Bible, the challenges of translating the Bible from one language to another, and why this book is so important.
