Middle School Movie Night
Friday, March 7th // 6:30 - 8:30pm
Set sail with us for Middle School Movie Night as we watch Moana 2 at the church! There will be food, snacks, and plenty of fun with friends. Don’t miss this chance to relax, hang out, and enjoy a tropical adventure together!
CURRENT SERMON SERIES
Jesus often taught using parables—everyday stories with a deeper meaning. These stories helped people understand who God is, what His Kingdom is like, and how He invites us to live. Each week, we’ll unpack a different parable and discover how it can shape the way we see God, the choices we make, and how we treat those around us.
Parables may seem simple at first, but they challenge us to think in new ways and ask big questions about faith, forgiveness, love, and what it really means to follow Jesus. Our hope is that these stories will help middle schoolers see that faith isn’t just something for church—it’s something that can impact their everyday lives at school, at home, and with their friends. We can’t wait to see how God works through this series!
MEET BRAYDEN VAN METER
It’s an absolute blessing to have the opportunity to serve our students as we seek to grow in our relationship with the Lord. Learning about each student’s unique story and building strong relationships with them is something I am truly passionate about.
If you ever see me outside of church, you’ll probably find me exploring the beautiful mountains of Colorado through hiking, biking, or even climbing! I’ve moved up to the mountains from Texas, so don’t make too much fun of me if you catch me with extra layers as it dips below 60 degrees
