MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAMS

Sunday School
Sundays 9:30-10:30 a.m. in the Youth Loft

Weekly Sunday mornings begin with announcements and worship while together with high school students. Then the groups split; the 7th and 8th graders stay in the Youth Loft to explore and engage, in imaginative ways, the Bible and its stories. We end our time together sharing delicious donuts! The first Sunday of each month we attend the 9:30 a.m. service and sit in the balcony.

Lofternoons
Tuesdays 4-5:30 p.m. in the Youth Loft

Lofternoons is an after school program for middle school students and is all about two things: fun and fellowship. Each week we have time to hang out, work on homework and have a variety of games and other projects. Students can walk to the church from Indian Hills, but when weather is cold or wet, we come over with the church van to give people a ride. Don't go to Indian Hills? You can always contact anyone in the youth department for transportation. Join us for a fun afternoon!

1st Wednesday Night Dinners
Wednesdays 5:15-6:30 p.m. meet in the Youth Loft 

​According to scripture, the disciples broke bread together to help build fellowship. So join us on the first Wednesday of every month for 1st Wednesday Night Dinners. We will meet at the church at 5:15 p.m. and eat dinner here at the church or walk down to the Prairie Village Shopping Center. Please bring $10 to cover your meal. 1st Wednesday Dinners is open to all middle school age students, and there is no obligation to stay for GPS, which follows.

GPS
Wednesdays 6:30-8 p.m. in the Youth Loft

​Growing Personally and Spiritually (GPS), is our weekly youth program held on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-8 p.m. This year we will be looking at how God transforms our lives through the everyday moments when we encounter our faith in a variety of ways. Each program evening begins with large group games, singing & worship, message and then small groups. We strive to make GPS a place where students can engage with each other and share their joys, concerns and everyday struggles of that come with middle school age.

HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAMS

Sunday School
Sunday 9:30-10:30 a.m. in the Youth Loft

​On Sunday mornings, we invite high school age students to come hang out, eat donuts and discuss life. This is also a chance to ask difficult questions in an accepting space, and is a meaningful and thoughtful time with great teachers and amazing people. Class is set up as an interactive environment with discussion and collaboration. Anyone and everyone is always welcome! On the first Sunday of each month we attend the 9:30 a.m. worship together and donuts are with us every Sunday of the month!

​SNL
Sunday 6:30-8:30 p.m. in the Youth Loft

​“Cheer" is our weekly ministry for high school student, 9th-12th grade. On Sunday nights we connect with each other through music, discussion, games and small groups. We cover a wide range of topics throughout the year, focusing on navigating the sometimes confusing and challenging world of high school. Trying to figure out yourself, let alone what it means to follow Christ in the midst of it, is something that takes good friends and community. Our hope is that you find both here!

Early Table
Thursday 7:30-8:15 a.m.

Don't know what to do with those new late start Thursdays? Come hang out, eat some donuts, and do a little morning devotion before heading to school. Your stomach will thank you. Zach and Meredith's house: 5401 West 77th St., PV, KS 66208. No biblical knowledge necessary!

Confirmation
Sundays 6:30-8:30 p.m. (late January – early May) Youth Loft

​Confirmation is the process by which our youth learn what it means to be in a relationship with Jesus Christ as a member of the church. Confirmation classes are open to 9th graders, as well as anyone older who has not yet taken the class. Our time is spent primarily in discussion and small groups and we welcome anyone and everyone, no matter what your past experience is with church, faith, or God. Confirmation begins in January and goes through the beginning of May. We will send out information and details about Confirmation in early November, as well as post information on the youth website.
