XCentric Sunday Formation/Sunday School (September-May)

Every Sunday morning from 10:10-11:05 a.m. student formation groups meet in the Church of the Advent Youth Center. Each quarter we reflect on biblical and theological topics using discussion, multi-media and the arts. We present a topic to the students; students relate the topic to their lives; students create/design content based on the topic; students present the topic through drama, art, music or another medium.

Sunday Evening Youth Group (September-May)

Every Sunday night during the school year we offer a time of gathering for games, service projects, prayer, and study for our High School and Middle School students. Sunday Night ConneXion Youth Group meets 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the Advent Youth Center unless we're meeting offsite. Invite your friends for a night of fun and awesomeness!!
