MVMT Night

MVMT is pronounced “Movement.”

Our big night of the month brings students together for worship, God’s Word, and a whole lot of time with friends.

We start with a casual hangout so you can grab food and meet people. Expect games, worship, and teaching that helps you connect your faith to real life. Food is provided. There’s always room for a friend.

MDWK

MDWK is pronounced “Midweek.”

Slow down, open the Bible, and talk it through. MDWK is a chance to explore different books of the Bible and discover what God’s Word means for your life.

We split into smaller groups for discussion, questions, and prayer, so you can get to know other students and your leaders. We make room to hang out and have fun, too.

Bring a friend anytime.MVMT Night and MDWK are both great places to begin.

You are part of the church right now. Your gifts, your questions, and your faith matter here.

We want to help you discover how God has made you, use your gifts to serve others, and grow as a leader. Talk with Miguel and Angela about a next step that fits where you are.
