Jesus is the Center of Everything We Do
Worship
Each Wednesday night at Chapel Ridge, starting at 6:30, our student-led leadership team begins the night by leading the middle school in praise and worship.
“God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” – Jesus
Connect
After the message, students separate into groups based on grade and gender with small group leaders. This setting creates a comfortable environment for meaningful discussion and questions.
“For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” – Jesus
Reach
Wednesday night is a blast for students, but the fun goes far beyond midweek! We offer many opportunities for students to serve at church or in our community.
“Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” – Jesus
