the anxiety weather report:
Is it just drizzling or am I in a tornado warning?
max boyd
By now, you’ve all heard of “anxiety”…but what really is it? Is it the same storm every teenager goes through? Is this nervousness or something more? Is your storm different than everyone else’s?

Let’s learn the answers together as we navigate the waters of the anxiety storm with Biblical principles, practical tools, and your guest speaker: Pastor Max!

beyond loneliness and likes:
How to Be a Real Friend
Shelbi shutt
Isolated, invisible, and insignificant. Ever felt that way? The profound impact of loneliness is something many of us can relate to. But what if the pursuit of becoming the kind of friend we want in life plays a key role in God’s plan to renew and rescue the world? I think it does. Come hang out with us as we unpack how to navigate the journey to deep friendships.

The Story of God
Jordan evans
The Bible can be read as a group of disconnected, irrelevant writings from thousands of years of go, or it can be read as a single story. In this breakout session we will take a bird’s eye of scripture and see that the Bible tells one story, and that is the story of God progressively revealing Himself to humanity.

Often times it’s the kind of relationship we want to be the best that ends up being the kind that hurts the most - dating relationships.

This breakout will help equip you to date with clarity, know your boundaries, and find the role that your friends play in it all.
