What To Expect At Our Weekly Gatherings
Our Student Ministry is a place for 6th-12th graders to make new friends, play totally ridiculous games, and understand their identity in Christ.
Our goal is to help students, through biblical teaching, to grow emotionally, spiritually, and to develop positive character. All of our programming is free and open to the entire community, so come and check us out!


Fusion is our high school ministry for 9th-12th graders. We meet on Tuesdays at Black Rock Church from 7:00-9:00 PM. Just show up and be ready to have fun!
Thrive is our middle school ministry for 6th-8th graders. We meet on Wednesdays at Black Rock Church from 6:30-8:15 PM. Just show up and be ready to have fun!

Deep End | Sunday Mornings | 11:30 AM
Woodruff Hall
Deep End is to be a practical way for our 6th-8th grade students to deepen their walk with Christ. Each month, students dive into a new characteristic of what being a Christian looks like. Students will be given a biblical foundation, have the characteristic modeled, think of applications for their own life, and have an opportunity to share with each other how they were able to live out their walk.
No sign-up needed, just show up every Sunday you can!

Special Needs Ministry
We are thrilled to have a ministry for special needs individuals known as SHINE. If you have a child with varying abilities who might need support to participate in our programs and engage with their peers, we’d love to partner with you to make their experience amazing!
