Student Life is a place for middle & high school students to connect with God, develop life-giving friendships, and grow as disciples. We aim to facilitate environments where young people come fully alive in God’s kingdom.
Weekly Events
• Sunday Mornings – Middle School Only
Overland Park @ 10:45am
Mission @ 9:30am
Our middle school students gather on Sunday mornings at both congregations to build friendships with one another and study the Bible together. Sunday mornings are a great way to get started in Student Life.
In Overland Park we meet in the Student Life basement (located under the worship space at the east end); in Mission we meet in The Studio on Johnson Drive.
.
• Wednesday Nights – Middle & High School
Overland Park @ 6pm
Our Wednesday night gatherings are the backbone of Student Life, as they are the primary way of building friendships for the long-haul, growing through adult-led small groups, sharing meals, and celebrating life together.
We place a high value on discussion-based learning – engaging with the hard questions of life and faith.
Students from both congregations come together from 6 – 8pm and meet in the Student Life basement in Overland Park.
