Sunday Mornings

Start your Sunday with worship at 9:00 AM, where students come together to grow in faith alongside the whole church family. Then, from 10:00 to 11:00 AM, head upstairs for Life Groups, a time to dive deeper into scripture, build authentic friendships, and apply faith to everyday life. It’s a space to ask questions, grow together, and be encouraged in your walk with Christ.

Events, Retreats, & Mission Trips

NSM is all about fun, faith, and friendships, and our events are the perfect way to experience all three! Throughout the year, we host exciting activities—lock-ins, laser tag, and more—giving students a chance to have fun and invite their friends.

For high schoolers, we offer weekend retreats in the fall and spring, creating space to step away, grow deeper in faith, and build lasting connections.

Each summer, we take a weeklong mission trip, serving communities, making a difference, and seeing faith in action. No matter where you are on your journey, there’s a place for you to experience something unforgettable!
