STUDENT SMALL GROUPS
|
|
|
Wednesday Nights @ Vista Middle School: 6:00-7:00pm High School: 7:30-8:30pm
|
They happen every week, but the relationships built in Small Groups extend outside the walls of our church. They’re designed to connect every student with consistent, trustworthy adult leaders and a community of their peers.
Small Groups are the most important part of what we do. They are a time for students to have real conversations about life and faith with the goal of growing closer to God and each other.

For the Middle School Mission Trip, we will partner with Mission Arlington in Arlington, TX. Mission Arlington serves the community of Arlington in many ways by providing food, clothing, and furniture to families and individuals in need. Mission Arlington also sends mission teams out to lower-income apartments to engage families and lead games and Bible studies for kids. This is a great opportunity to serve others and grow as a follower of Christ.
The trip will be June 15-17 and costs $125 which includes travel, lodging, and all meals for the trip. Let us know if cost is an issue and we can send you our scholarship application to complete.
The MS Mission Trip is for students who are currently in 6th-8th grades.
