Ignite is a monthly gathering for our students, which will be held at the Stones Crossing or Seymour campus, the first Sunday of every month, from 6:30-8:00pm for grades 7-12. 

Each Ignite will feature an engaging speaker, worship, and fun activities for our students. This is an evening you'll want to bring your friends and your relentless pursuits. Every week following ignites, students will meet with their small groups at homes or at a local campus.

Our next Ignite gathering will be Sunday, March 2. The doors will open at 5:30. Don’t miss it!

Small Groups

Strong connections. Honest conversations. Groups are 10-14 students meeting weekly with adult leaders, diving deeply into God's Word, and establishing real relationships - with Jesus and with one another.

Small groups are the engine that drives spiritual formation. Students develop authentic, influential and healthy bonds with their peers and adult leaders, asking honest questions and building faith in the One who has the answers!
