Discipleship Hour
Youth Bible Study takes place during our discipleship hour. The purpose of this time is to help students grow in the Bible knowledge and understanding. We are currently doing a study through the book of Acts. We would love to have you join us.
We value the Bible as God’s Word to us and desire for all students to have an understanding of what God is saying to them. This is accomplished through teaching students through the Bible, as well as, helping them learn how to read His Word on their own.
Large Group
Our Sunday Night program is a large group format. This is a great night to come, get acquainted, and build relationships. We value creating a safe place for students to gather and feel accepted.
We seek to help our students become well rounded disciples of Jesus Christ. We equip our students using the 8 Roots of Discipleship: Rescue, Knowledge, Kingdom, Outreach, Apologetics, Worship, Community, and Identity.
To Reach 6th-12th grade students for Christ, Connect them into a supportive community, to help them Grow in their faith, and to give opportunities for them to Discover their ministry and Honor God with their life.
“You rejoice in this, even though now for a short time, if necessary, you suffer grief in various trials so that the proven character of your faith – more valuable than gold which, though perishable, is refined by fire – may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” 1 Peter 1:6-7
Small Groups
We believe that discipleship doesn’t only happen in large group settings, but also in small group settings and one-on-one. It is important for students to understand how they function within the whole group, as well as, giving them opportunity to be heard.
Discipleship is not simply a program. It is living life together. It is going through challenges together. It is celebrating victories together. It is mentoring, teaching, sharing, and accountability. We meet as a whole group at the beginning of the night and then split into small groups.

Welcome to Refine Youth where your student will experience belonging, discover purpose, and find the truth of their identity as a child of God. I enjoy creating safe space for students to connect with the Heart of God and experience His Grace. Raising a teenager is a team effort and my goal is to partner with parents as we work together to help students reach their full potential in Jesus Christ. I hope you will join us!
