7th - 12th grade
We work to create a welcoming environment where teens can feel known and cared for.
Sundays
Wednesdays
So many young people in our world today are embracing beliefs and behaviors informed and shaped more by our changing culture than the unchanging Good News of Jesus. Sundays @ UTURN are a place where the conversations are firmly staked to the practical teaching of God’s Word. It’s not just story-time knowledge, but applicable wisdom for life, right from the Bible.
Our goal is our students following God, and in the end, only the Good News of Jesus can produce a deep sense of identity and spiritual strength that will last long after our young people have graduated from our student ministry, shaping their future—and the future of the Church.
Christian students represent God to their unbelieving friends wherever they go. We challenge our students to consider whether they’re being a good representative or a poor one. Wednesdays @ UTURN are an opportunity to bring friends to a non-threatening and open atmosphere where they can see and hear the Good News of Jesus… and the immediate difference He could make in their life.
We work to create a welcoming environment where teens can feel known and cared for while having fun with their friends. While UTURN Wednesdays will certainly include time for goofing around and games, ultimately we’re intentional about sharing the Good News of Jesus each time we gather.

Small Groups
Join us as we engage the last command Jesus gave His followers: “Go make disciples and change the world.” It’s a big challenge to which Jesus offered a “small” solution: the power of community… leveraging the place where we live. Our small groups make a difference one discussion, one lesson, and one group meeting at a time.
Small groups are the best way to make a big difference. Our small group leaders are able to go deep with just a few students. Small groups are at the center of our UTURN strategy and that’s where authentic discipleship through relationship happens. Our leaders are strategically investing in the lives of a few—over time—so we can help teens build their own dependable faith.
