Our Method:

Sunday Evenings, 6-7:30pm
(except in the case of special events.)
Please check monthly calendar for specific schedule of activities.

We meet with youth in two sections, to enable age appropriate experiences: Middle School/Junior High (grades 6-8) and High School (grades 9-12). Sunday Mornings at 9:30 a.m., all youth gather in the Sanctuary, then leave the service following the Children's Moment. Their class meets in the East Room, which is next door to the sanctuary, September-May.

We have a variety of weekly meetings during the school year (and special events) to stay connected including some of the following:

• Concerts

Our Summer Schedule:

We typically meet monthly during the summer, and plan at least one major event such as a camping or a trip to Cedar Point (Amusement Park in Sandusky, Ohio).

Mission Trip Opportunity:

Our annual mission trip is scheduled for the first week of April in cooperation with the Holt Schools' Spring Break. Students in grade 8+ or that are at least 14 years old are eligible for our trip to Red Bird Mission in Beverly, Kentucky. While there, students work on projects on the campus of Red Bird and in the community. To earn funds for our trip, we run a concession stand during Michigan State University's home football games. Go Spartans!
