Central Middle School

6th-8th Grade // 9:00Am // The Loft

It’s called middle school because this season marks the middle of their school years. They aren’t kids anymore, but they are also far from being adults. These highly transitional years are pivotal when it comes to long-term faith formation. We provide a space where your students can find friendship with one another and with Jesus.

Central High School

9th-12th Grade // 9:00 & 11:00Am

Our high school students gather briefly before going out each Sunday morning to be a part of the church family by using their time and gifts to serve. (High School meets for worship and teaching on Thursday evenings at 6:00pm.)

Single Focus @ 9

9:00am // Room 216

For single adults age 40+ (and a few marrieds). We watch a video series from RightNow Media on a book of the Bible and have a lively, meaningful discussion as we share life application truths.

March 30-April 6: Good Friday and Easter – In these sessions from The Gospel of Mark, Francis Chan teaches on Jesus’s death and resurrection and challenges us to consider how to live our lives in light of His sacrifice and victory over death. For single adults ages 40+.

April 13: Jesus Our Savior Messiah by Tony Evans – In this session from The Power of Jesus’ Names, Dr Tony Evans reflects on Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection to remind us that Jesus is our savior and Messiah.

April 20: No class.

April 27-June 1: The Book of Galatians by Kyle Idleman – If someone asked you to explain the gospel, what would you say? What is the good news of the Christian faith? Writing to the Galatians, Paul made it clear how easily we can be tempted to turn toward fraudulent gospels, especially those that teach we can earn God’s love through our works. Though they may have the appearance of truth, they are lifeless and leave us empty in the end. Through biblical study and engaging lessons, Kyle shows that true freedom is found in surrender, not self-dependence. Because our gospel is not one based on our works, but faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ.
