Substance Youth Parent Update December 2025

Hello Substance Youth Parents! We're so excited to update you on what is happening in Substance Youth!

Substance Christmas Services

Christmas is the most fun time of the year here at Substance, and we can't wait for you and your family to be a part of it! Every year, we hear stories of people experiencing the presence of God, marriages and families being restored, and people discovering a life-giving family of faith! We would love to invite you and your family to join us for a service! Click the button below for all of our service times and for more information!

Wednesday, December 17th, at the 7:00pm service, we are inviting all students to come and join us in the Youth Section to kick off our services!

Another great way to get involved this Christmas season is to SERVE! Year after year, we hear incredible stories of life transformation that comes from attending one of our Christmas services for the first time. By serving on a team, you help make that happen for others! Join us as we welcome all of our visitors to our Christmas services! You can sign you and your student up to serve at the link below!

No Substance Youth December 24th and December 31st

There will be no Substance Youth on Wednesday, December 24th, and Wednesday, December 31st! We hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Sunday Services

One of our goals is to have every student love our Sunday services!

We'd love to have you join one of our amazing campuses around the metro area! We have a campus at Northtown, Downtown, and Westside. At every campus, there are Youth staff or volunteers that would love to help connect you and your student to Substance Youth! Stop by the 7 Minute Party after each service and we'd love to help you get connected.

It's all about 4-7 Friends and Ownership in a Ministry!

Youth Serving

There's nothing better than serving with friends! Every week at all of our campuses we have places for students to find ownership here at Substance on Sunday mornings and on Substance Youth nights! From the coffee team, greeting team, to KIDS ministry there are plenty of opportunities for students to jump in at Substance Church!
