Live Gathering
Turning Points meets from 7:00-8:30P in the Youth Room on most Sundays (Home Groups being the exceptions). During our time together, we will play games, worship, dive into Scripture through interactive teaching, and apply God’s Word to our lives through Small Groups (Same grade/gender small groups).
Home Groups
Home Groups meet from 7:00-8:30P four times over the year (see the schedule for specific dates). Students will meet in their Small Groups at a leader’s or host family’s home. During this time, Small Groups will engage in different challenges, serve together, hold each other accountable for growth in God’s Word, and have fun together.
Sunday School
9th Grade students will combine with 8th Grade Students as they examine the book of Acts in Room 034.
10th-12th Grade studentswill meet in the Youth Room and debate much of the year as they learn to defend the faith.
