The Gathering
The Gathering (Life to Bible) is a place for High School Students to try to make sense of their world with adults who love them deeply and want to invest in their lives. We want to help your High Schooler to become a critical thinker who can learn to discern the world around them. We want to prepare them for an amazing long life of living Jesus’ life as their own wherever they are. In order to do this, we talk about what High Schoolers experience day in and day out and then look to God’s word for direction and wisdom in how we should live. We work through topics such as: identity, sexuality, relationships, wise decision-making, developing an attitudes of a curious learner, and developing habits of a life-longer learner.
The Gathering meets Sunday nights from 6:00-8:00 pm. We start each week with a free meal.

Sunday School
Sunday School’s (Bible to Life) purpose is to help High School Students further their faith by studying theology, worldviews, Bible Study skills, and furthering their understanding of the Story found in the Bible. All of this study will help them see how God’s Word can impact their life. They are encouraged to delve deeper into the Scriptures and apply these lessons to their everyday lives. This time is for them to wrestle with deep content with adults who can help them develop and practice using critical thinking skills.

Greenhouse
Greenhouse meets during the summer. Greenhouse Bible Study we study one book of the Bible and seek to understand how the original audience interpreted it as best as we can. We spend the whole summer learning about the author, audience, the message, and what it has to do in a High School Student’s life. We encourage the students to use the tools that they have learned in Sunday School to help them question and learn how to help each other learn together.
