What is peak city students?
Peak City Students is a youth ministry uniquely designed with your middle and high schooler in mind! Every Wednesday all students (6th-12th grade) experience a safe, fun environment where they'll have fun, worship, and learn from the Bible in large and small group settings. We would love to see your 6-12th grader at Peak City Students!
what we value
Faith
We empower teenagers to take initiative to pray according to God's will, read the Bible, and build Christ-centered relationships. With Jesus at the center, they will learn that their lives have purpose and that they can find their true identities. We equip all leaders and parents with biblical resources and spiritual direction to disciple students and empower them in their gifts to love and serve others.
Friendship
We believe Christ-like friendships point to the gracious friendship we have with God through Jesus. We're in this together! One of our Big Rules is that students welcome and introduce themselves to new kids. Teens partner together and team up in opening activities. In small groups, we break the ice and pray for one another. Students are encouraged to bring their friends and invite their neighbors every week.
FUN
When students have fun at youth group, they'll want to return and invite their friends. Wednesdays begin with team sports and competitive activities. Every quarter we host events like Nerf Wars or Skate Nights. We partner with other youth groups for joint worship and games. Students look forward to our Winter Retreats and Summer Camps, too!
Upcoming events
