Through our three youth groups, we help school-aged children connect with peers and adult leaders, and build a solid faith foundation. Plus, everyone has a lot of fun!
SoulFire (Grades 9-12)
Sunday, December 10 (6pm-8pm)
Join us for our annual Christmas Party at the Dorfler home! There will be more food than you can eat and games with prizes. We ask that everyone brings a wrapped white elephant gift valued at no more than $10 for the gift exchange. Wear your favorite Christmas attire and get ready for some fun!
Sunday, January 14 (6pm-8pm)
Join us as we discuss “Why do bad things happen to good people?” and see what the Bible really has to say about it. Games and snacks as always!
Sunday, January 28 (6pm-8pm)
Join us for a night of life sized Hungry Hungry Hippos! Crazy amounts of fun are guaranteed to be had. We’ll review all of our Bible study questions that we’ve talked about so far this year and see if there are any questions that youth would like to have answered before the end of the school year. No questions are off limits when it comes to the Bible and our faith!

Grades 9-12 meet about twice a month. We spend our time in high-energy fellowship and strive to provide a come-as-you-are, safe and welcoming atmosphere where students can gather with fellow Christians, have fun and be nourished in their walk with Christ. We are fully aware that it is difficult to be faithful as a young adult in our culture today, so we work to equip and encourage our students. Our goal in whatever we do — service projects, Bible studies, fellowship events, hanging out — is to relish in our God-given gift of faith and grow together in Christ.
Grades 6-8 This youth group meets twice a month throughout the school year for fun, fellowship and community service activities.
Grades 4 & 5 The earlier young people develop friendships within the church, the more likely they are to stay committed and grow in their faith. That’s the philosophy behind Sparks, our 4th and 5th grade youth group, which meets regularly for fun and fellowship during the school year. We typically meet once a month for a fellowship activity or service project, and a devotional. It is so important to connect students early with the Christian Gospel and a community of fellow believers.
