We’re partnering with parents to see the gospel transform youth. We want youth to know what it means to follow Jesus in an ever-evolving cultural context. During Discipleship Hour, we worship and study Scripture as youth learn about living with a Christian worldview.

Grades 7–12 meet for Discipleship Hour on Sunday mornings at 10:15am. We encourage teens to attend a worship service with their family or friends before or after the Discipleship Hour.
