Elevate Student Ministries

Every Sunday night the youth get together and have a time of fellowship and inspiring worship. We meet from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. (we don't serve dinner during the summer, so eat before you come), exciting games, great worship, and a challenging message. It is a great time where all 6th-12th grade students are welcome.We work hard on providing an inviting place where friends that are bound together in faith in Christ can hang out and be wild and crazy. For more information about our Student Ministries, contact Andy Cartee, Director of Student Ministries at 407-644-2906 x227.

This Week...

Sunday, November 23 noon:

Today we'll be celebrating Thanksgiving with our seniors.  Come and help us serve food and enjoy a meal together!

Sunday, November 23 evening:

We'll be continuing the I-Life series talkin' about encouragement.  As "iron sharpens iron" so we are called to sharpen our brothers and sisters.  Hebrews 3:12-13 says, "See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness." 

And of course we'll be playin' some games that are Thanksgiving themed and I gotta say...pretty sweet. 

Also, the band will be rockin' out some worship songs as well as a song purely for your listening pleasure.
