youth and families
you are welcome here
sunday schedule
family discipleship hour (all ages)
9-10 am | classes are broken into nursery, kids, 3rd-5th grade, youth, and adults. We use this hour to intentionally take our children through our core insights aiming toward developmentally appropriate goals for each age group.
New to Covenant? You can sign-up your child for an easy check-in here.
middle school (6th-8th grade)
6-7:30pm | youth group for middle schoolers looks like lots of games, fun activities, singing and dancing, relational time with our volunteer leaders, and a Gospel presentation. While Sunday mornings are opportunities for our students to dig deeper in God’s word together, these evenings are great for inviting friends into the story of what God is up to in our world.
high school (9th-12th grade)
6-7:30pm | youth group for this age level focuses more on the relationship. While we spend some time in games and singing, we take most of this time getting to know each other through ice breakers, Bible study, prayer, and bonding activities. High school is a time students really need a faith community to rely on, and we aim to provide that on Sunday evenings.
