Freedom in the Commandments
This year, we’re diving deep into a powerful truth: God’s commandments aren’t meant to restrict us—they’re meant to set us free.
Through our theme, “Freedom in the Commandments,” we’ll explore Exodus 20:1–21 and look beyond the “Thou shalt nots” to discover the heart behind God’s instructions. Each of the Ten Commandments reveals how God calls us to live—not in bondage to sin or fear, but in the freedom that comes from walking in His ways.
We’ll unpack how these ancient words still speak to our lives today, helping us live with purpose, integrity, and freedom in Christ.
Wednesdays | 6:30-8:30 pm
Meets September 10th, 2025 – May 13th, 2026
Our mission is to inspire students (7th-12th Grade) to know the truth about God and their own identity in Christ – to be a rising generation characterized by compassion and grace.
(Parents, your involvement is welcomed and encouraged!)
Junior High (7th-8th Grade)
Our mission is to partner with parents to equip and inspire their students, 7th and 8th grade, to know the reality of God, the truth of the Bible, and their identity in Christ. We do this through worship, Bible teaching, small groups, service, and fun activities. By these things we support the church’s core value of Raising Godly Families and its vision of “with and for future generations.” Parental involvement is welcomed and encouraged.
Senior High (9th-12th Grade)
Our senior high youth group is for 9th-12th graders. We strive to train up our future generation to be compassionate, have grace, and be committed to God and His Word. We do this by creating opportunities for youth to be disciples, to live Godly lives, and to be ministers that reach our community and the nations with the Gospel.

Email Katie“Every teen has immeasurable value to God. Each has their own unique personality, passions, and gifts. I love being in youth ministry because I can be someone who can listen to their hearts, help shoulder their burdens, point them to truth as they learn to navigate their faith and cheer them on as they own their walks with God.”

Hannah Brassfield
Female Discipleship Leader
Email Hannah“Having relationships with these teens & pointing them to Christ is one of my greatest joys. When I was a teen in youth group, I needed a youth leader who would listen to me without shame and judgment, honestly answer my questions, and authentically relate to me. It is my prayer that God would help me to be this kind of leader for the young women in our church.”
