Bible Studies (7th-12th Grade)
On Wednesday nights we have grade and gender based Bible Studies for students to find community and learn how to read and apply the Bible to their lives!
Tuesday Night Small Groups
We are so excited to also offer groups on Tuesday nights at our Northtown Campus! From our youth small groups, to childcare, and groups for parents, there are options for the entire family on these nights!
Youth Freedom
Freedom Groups build on the foundation of your faith in Christ. These groups help you embrace the truth of God’s Word as it relates to your worldview, your past, your sin, your personal value to God, and your purpose in His Kingdom. Join us as we remove every obstacle to intimacy with God and walk in true freedom with Him. (This group is recommended for senior high but is open to any student)
Financial Peace University
Financial Peace University is a class designed to teach students all about finances and how to manage them! This course will cover topics such as budgeting, saving, taxes, credit and debt, and more! (Due to the material of this course, this group is recommended for senior high but is open to any student who would like to join)
Other Small Groups
Thursday Night Tabletop Gaming
Every other Thursday night at our Northtown Campus we have a tabletop gaming group for students in 7th-12th grade!
Westside Sunday Morning Connect Group
We also have a group on Sunday mornings at our Westside campus for students to connect and meet other students at the campus!
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!
