our rhythms 

Sundays – Life Groups at 9:30AM

Life Groups are where students grow deeper in their relationship with Christ, build strong community, and develop rhythms of spiritual growth. Groups are arranged by grade and gender to help students form meaningful, lasting friendships with their peers. Each group is led by trusted, hand-picked leaders who are passionate about mentoring the next generation. And yes—donuts are served every Sunday before Life Groups for both Junior High and High School students!

Wednesdays – MDWK at 6:30PM

Doors open at 6:00PM, giving students time to grab dinner, hang out, and connect with friends before we kick off MDWK. The service starts at 6:30PM with high-energy worship, a relevant message from God’s Word, and wraps up with a fun, crowd-favorite game. Every week, students are challenged to see the world through a gospel lens and grow in their faith—all while having a blast. From powerful moments of worship to crazy games and real friendships, MDWK truly is the best night of the week!
