What to Expect

Doors Open

Doors open at 6:15pm
Use this time to grab some snacks, hang out with friends, chill and meet new people!

Fun & Games

Connection is key, and a great to connect is to have fun with friends! Every week, we dive into awesome games and activities to strengthen our relationships and have a blast together.

Growth

Growing in our relationship with God can be as simple as getting closer to Him. That's why we spend time in worship and diving into His Word together.

NXTGen Groups

NXTGen Groups will hang out for the last 30 minutes of each week. These awesome, age-appropriate groups are a chill space where you can talk about real life, lift each other up, and pray together.

Meet Your Youth Pastor

Ben Fresch

Hineni, is a Hebrew word that means "Here am I, send me" and that's been the cry of my heart as I've followed Jesus. To say "yes" to wherever He sends me and whatever He asks me to do.

He's led me and my wife of more than 11 years to do wonderful things for His Kingdom. One of those is being foster and adoptive parents. We have one son that we adopted in 2023 and have opened our home to foster many more children.

My heart is to lead people of any age to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and to equip them to share that with their friends and whoever they come into contact with. My wife and I love traveling, trying new restaurants and simply spending time with friends and family.
