Clusters (small groups)


clustersLogowebsiteOur High School Small Group Ministry!

6-8pm Tuesdays and Wednesdays throughout the school year.

Meeting in pre-approved homes throughout the community.

Webster’s dictionary defines a “cluster” as: “A group of the same or similar elements gathered closely together.  To gather or grow in bunches.”

Clusters are our high school small group ministry that is designed to combine people of similar interests to learn, grow, and mature in their faith together.  These groups will coincide with the Awana and Ignite ministries that meet on Wednesday nights from 6-8pm.  However, what’s different about this ministry is instead of meeting at the church we will be meeting in pre-approved homes throughout the community.

Our youth ministry’s goal is to “guide our youth to ‘Grow Deeper’ in their relationship with God and to ‘Go Wider’ in their influence!”  And this ministry’s purpose is have youth grow deeper in their faith through discipleship and discovering God’s word together in a small group.

Quick Facts About Clusters:

* Each cluster will consist of 5-10 youth (separated by gender) and 1-2 adult leaders.  Each cluster will stay together throughout the whole school year.

* We will have several “rounds” throughout the school year and each round is a different theme or video series.  Each round will consist of 6-10 weeks.  Youth will have a chance to join an existing cluster IN-BETWEEN rounds (not during).  So make sure you sign up today.

* Each cluster will meet in a pre-approved host home throughout the community.
