High School Retreat
We are so excited for our High School Retreat this year! We will leave Friday, February 14th by 9am and will be back Monday, February 17th by 5pm. We will be in Sapphire, NC and are staying in a 9,000 square foot house with a home theater, game room which includes a pool table and ping pong table, mini golf, park, basketball court, and a recreational center. This will be a great time to spend fellowshipping, studying and praying through God's word, and growing as a family! There is a $100 deposit due at registration and your final balance is due two weeks before we leave. Please reach out to Derek if you have any questions.
Weekly Events
D-Groups
We gather on Wednesday nights from 6:00-8:00 in the Warehouse for D-Groups. The night is comprised of free time, big group gym games, stage games, and D-Groups. The main emphasis on Wednesday nights is D-Groups. D-Groups are split up by grade and gender, and a full hour of the evening is spent with their leader and group in a small group setting.
D-Groups, or discipleship groups, are the most important thing we do in student ministry. Discipleship has two equally important components: truth and relationships. The truth taught in D-Groups is founded on God’s inerrant and infallible Word, where we discover absolute truth. We emphasize the relational side of discipleship through relationship building between our D-Group Leaders and their students. Leaders walk alongside their students through life and provide biblical guidance and direction as they navigate these dynamic years of their lives. Our leaders will stay with their groups from 6th grade until 12th grade so that they are building a trustworthy relationship that is founded on the truth of God’s Word. We desire each student to have not only the Warehouse Staff but also D-Group leaders who point them to the truth of God’s Word and walk through life with them.

Breakaway
Breakaway meets weekly from 4:30-6:30 on Sunday Nights. This event is similar to a traditional youth group or service. It includes gym games, weekly announcements, a worship service comprised of music and study of God’s Word, and finishes with breakout prayer groups. Our student leadership team, CREW, plans and leads much of the night. Students can bring $2 for pizza for dinner.
Breakaway is an excellent opportunity for our students to grow a larger Christian community; a time for our students to build relationships with other students in our ministry. Through free time, big group games in the gym, worshiping together through music, the reading and studying of God's Word, and time in small groups where we pray with and for each other, it is our goal that students will develop new connections and ultimately grow in relationship with others and with Christ. Breakaway is led by CREW Student Leadership, the Warehouse band, and the Warehouse Staff.
