Eyes Wide Open - YouthDo you know why you believe what you believe? Most people don’t. They close their eyes and just go through life swayed by whatever messages come their way. God wants to show us who He is. The signs are everywhere. But you’ve got to walk through life with your Eyes Wide Open.
Accept or Reject - THE LOOPAs followers of Christ, we stand for some basic truths about God. Do you know what you believe? This series will present the truth about creation, the Bible, Jesus, and God. Once you hear the truth, the choice is up to you. Will you accept or reject it?

Backpack - YouthThis series asks us to take a look inside ourselves and see what we’re carrying around in our backpack. What weighs us down? What holds us back from becoming everything God intends us to be? We will focus on getting rid of shame from bad situations, guilt from bad decisions, bad relationships that hold us back from living for God and making sure our concern for our reputation isn’t a burden that holds us back from living for God.
THE LOOPWelcome to THE LOOP! This series is intended to be an overview of the four main categories that all the 10 -12 Year Olds’ series fall into: Knowing God, understanding who He made us to be, our role in the community of believers, and our relationships to others in the world. Each week of this series gives a broad idea of what so important about those four areas.
iWill - YouthiWill overviews the four relationship themes as areas of growth: God, You, Community, Others. The first week’s longer message "I will put my relationship with God above all else" sets the stage for three weeks of video and small group discussion about the other three: I will discover who God says I am, I will take my place in the Community of believers and I will reach out and share Christ with Others.
HabitsWe all have habits. Some good, some bad. In this series we explore some habits that will draw us closer to God. Reading the Bible, prayer, and even silence are important habits that can allow God to become our source for guidance and life decisions.
The small group discussion questions challenge students to establish these habits and the daily devotionals give them the steps to take.

What happens when substitutes show up in our relationship with God? The results may be deadly. Don’t miss our series Death by Christianity. There is no substitute for the real thing.
Hot TopicsJust because culture says “it isn’t wrong”, doesn’t mean it is right.

How far is too far? You’ve thought about it...We are going to talk about it.
Silence - Youth SeriesWhy is silence so weird? I mean when 12 people are crammed in an elevator, how come nobody talks? Could it be that in our life we are bombarded with noise?
