"Wednesday Night Live" is our midweek ministry that has something for the whole family. We start out each Wednesday with a free community meal from 6:00-6:30pm. But stick around when the meal is over; that's when the fun continues! From 6:30-7:30pm, we split into three different age groups: elementary, youth, and adults for age-specific programming. Read on below for more information about these groups, then make a plan to join us on Wednesdays!

Winter/Spring SCHEDULE
The winter/spring semester of Wednesday Night Live begins January 21st and goes through April 29th.
Elementary Break-out
After our community dinner, our elementary-aged children (ages 4 through 5th grade) go to our Fellowship Hall downstairs for a time of lessons, crafts, and games.
Using a variety of curriculum resources, you can be sure that your child will have a great time learning timeless Bible lessons. On top of that, they will have a blast on crafts and other projects designed to reinforce the lesson, as well as games and activities meant to make Wednesday Night Live a staple of your week!
Your child will have all this fun alongside other children, forming friendships that can last a lifetime. And while they're downstairs, you can be right upstairs the whole time in your own time of fellowship and faith.
YOUTH GROUP
After dinner, our Youth Group (6th-12th grade) will meet downstairs in our Youth Room. In this time, they will have age-appropriate discipleship, fellowship, and fun. Our youth break out into three separate groups:
- Confirmation: For students 6th grade and up who are interested in making a formal commitment to the Christian faith. (Seasonal)
- Wednesday Youth Church: For students in 6th-9th grade.
- Youth Leadership Team (YLT): For students in 10th-12th grade, with a focus on mission work, community service, and growing in leadership skills.
At Wednesday Night Live, we give our Youth a place where they can just "be," where they can find friends, fellowship, and faith in a low-pressure setting. With authentic lessons and discussions, your teenager can discover faith for themselves on their own terms.
ADULT BIBLE STUDY
When our community dinner finishes, our adults remain upstairs in our Choir Room for our own Bible study!
In preparation for the season of Lent and Easter, our adult group will be exploring Rev. Adam Hamilton’s “24 Hours That Changed the World.” This book discusses the profound, life-changing impact that the last day of Jesus’ life had on human history, and will be thought-provoking for long-time Christians and newcomers to the faith alike. Copies of the book will be available in the office for a suggested donation of $8. (If the cost is a barrier, please speak with Pastor Emily or Linda Bontrager.) A signup sheet is available in the sanctuary!
