Students

We exist to raise up a generation of students who are fully surrendered to God and his purposes on the earth.

5th–6th Grade

FiveSix

The FiveSix family is a life-giving community for 5th and 6th grade students to grow in friendship with God and with each other. We meet for an hour during the weekend services and host fun, off-site events throughout the year. We’d love to have you join us!

When

We meet during the weekend services.
