We believe that everyone has something unique to offer. We offer a variety of ministries and programs designed to help you grow in your faith and explore new possibilities.
Thrive Youth is a place where 6th through 12th graders can gather in loving friendship. Our group is full of energy, laughter, and good times. We play, laugh, study and grow our faith together. Our hope is that young people can come together in a space that is safe and welcoming so that the love of Christ can be felt and then shared in the world.
Our youth meet weekly from 6-7:30 and those 90 minutes are full! Bible study, games, Life Skills , a heavy snack & hanging out make up our time together each week. Sprinkled throughout the month/semester are other opportunities for fellowship and service.
Developing curiosity and wonder around scripture is at the foundation of how our group studies and learns together. Providing space for questions and reflection are key to growing the faith of young people.
Thrive Youth has a wonderfully committed group of adult volunteers who are not only here weekly to learn alongside our youth but who are committed to providing service opportunities; supporting our youth in their various activities; and even traveling with us on trips and to events.
Thrive for Children is a group that includes those ages Pre-K (4 years old) through 5th grade. Our community has lots of energy, laughter, hugs and fun times! Our goal is to create a safe and friendly environment where children can come together to play, laugh, study, and grow in our faith.
Thrive for children meets weekly from 6:00-7:30pm on Wednesday evenings. 90 minutes may seem like a long time, but we have it packed full of opportunities for children to engage in Bible study, recreation, Life skills and of course a hearty snack!
Our Bible study time is divided up into age-appropriate groups and our teachers explore the scriptures in a way that invites questions and curiosity. We also explore life skills with our children. Our hope is that they develop “soft skills”, manners, and etiquettes that will aid them to thrive in life!
Of course, a ministry like Thrive takes lots of volunteers! Our adult leaders are committed to helping our children grow in their faith and to eventually make a commitment to Christ.
Simply put, we love children and want to see them Thrive in life!
