Middle School Youth Ministry: ACTS


You belong here

We want youth to connect to their personal relationship with the lord through faith connections, fellowship, and service.

In an era heavily focused on technology, the demands on our youth can be unrealistic. The connected society that we know of today inadvertently places unrealistic expectations on our youth. From body image, to fashion, to masculinity or femininity, there are unrealistic expectations everywhere. So how do we ensure our youth that they are perfectly made?

ACTS Gatherings

The Focus of ACTS Gatherings

We are focused on helping middle school youth find answers to questions like...

Why am I here? What is the meaning of my life? Why God?


We hope your teen(s) will join us for fellowship, faith connections, and meeting Christ in our day-to-day. 


Gathering Times

We meet Wednesdays from 5:45 to 7:30PM. The first ACTS gathering of the 2025-'26 school year will be on September 24th.
