Wednesday nights

Fuel – our Wednesday night youth group – runs from 5:43 to 7:30pm. Our monthly calendars, released every two months, and the Fuel blog site will alert you to what is happening each Wednesday. Youth group generally includes outrageous games, scripture lessons, topics that pertain to what’s really going on in your life, and times of deep conversation in small groups. The last Wednesday of every month is a special night called “Last Wednesday” (I know, I know; we really went out on a limb with that title). “Last Wednesday” is a worship service designed to allow students, parents and others who don’t normally attend youth group to worship and learn together. It is also a powerful evangelism opportunity. So check out our calendar to find out what’s happening this week and we hope to see you there!

Sunday A.M.

Everyone likes choice. No one wants to be told what to be interested in. We understand.

Our 9:59 program (a.k.a. “Sunday School”) is based on that very principle. Each month we offer three different classes for students to choose from. Topics range from characters from the Bible, a book or an issue of the faith. The classes are usually taught by the Youth Pastor, Middle School Director, Interns or members of the Student Ministries Staff. Don’t miss this opportunity to develop a deeper faith and understanding, meet us in the church sanctuary at 9:59 next Sunday!

Other events

In addition to Wednesday nights and Sunday A.M., there are a number of other ways to get involved: weekend retreats, winter camp, Up Country (back-packing), Confirmation, mission trips, small groups, and more. Check the calendar for more details.

IGNITE HIGH SCHOOL MINISTRIES

IGNITE HIGH SCHOOL MINISTRIES

Grades 9-12

Ignite Student Ministries is a ministry of Harbor Covenant Church aimed at aligning high school students with the revolutionary movement of Jesus and his teachings. We believe that Love always wins and so through our sacrificial love we are redeeming the entire world.

Make sure to checkout our blog:   http://www.321ignite.com

Wednesday nights

Ignite meets from 7:30 - 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday nights. Our nights are comprised of a variety of components including worship, teaching, activities, videos, small groups, and more. The topics are relevant for students and focus on how to follow Jesus in the real world. Wednesday nights have a welcoming atmosphere and are great to bring friends to!

Tetris

Tetris meets on Sunday nights and is a call to radical discipleship. When Jesus said to live a certain way we actually believe he meant it. Tetris is our attempt to live like Jesus and do what he said to do. Tetris is about using our own uniqueness, passions, and giftedness that God has given us to serve others as we work to redeem our world. If you have a desire to follow Jesus and serve others then Tetris might be for you! Talk to Blake to see if Tetris would be a good fit for you.

Sunday A.M.

Sunday mornings are our opportunity to dig deeper into the Scriptures and learn about how we fit into God's Kingdom and his plan for the redemption of this world. We meet at 9:45am during the Christian Formation Hour on Sundays. Come join us!

Other events

 In addition to Wednesday Nights, Sunday School, and Tetris, there are a number of ways to get involved. Some of our additional events include: Summer camp at the Cape in British Columbia, Beach Freeze Winter Retreat, Confirmation, Project Serve, Mission Trips, Service Projects, and other fun events such as Bogus Ball. Check out the calendar or blog to find out what's happening this month.
