Sunday Night Flow

Sunday nights are Middle School from 4-5:30p and High School from 6-7:30p. Here is a quick rundown of the Sunday night experience for Students:

  • Hangtime - art projects, open gym, video games

  • Games - switching between all group and up front individual games.

  • Worship - with our own Student band.

  • Teaching - provided by Noah or Becky with occasional special guests.

  • Small Group Time - grade & gender specific group time to talk and connect with each other. Each group has leaders that stick with them the whole year. To see a picture of your student’s leader click here.

  • Snack & End - groups do occasionally run late if they get in deep discussion. We appreciate your patience.

Parent Resources

Here is a list of a few resources we like; we don’t continuously monitor these sites so there might be some things that don't completely fit our beliefs but overall the content is very well done:

  • Axis.org. This is a great place if you're wanting to keep up to date with the changing nature of social media, culture, gaming, etc. You can sign up for weekly "Culture Translator" emails for free and there are many guides to help you have discussions with your student on a variety of topics.

  • theParentCue.org - this is content on how to connect with your student. It focuses on the different life stages and what each stage needs from you as a parent.

  • afsp.org - American Foundation for Suicide Prevention - this site was recommended to us from a counselor and is a great resource for help with mental health.

  • Emotional Intelligence Guide & Emotional Intelligence Feeling Wheel - this is a great tool for helping students recognize and share their emotions.
