"To know Him & to enjoy Him"

The mission of SURGE is to see students give their lives to Christ and live their lives for God.

Loving God - through biblical teaching, prayer and praise
Loving Others - with real talk and relationships being formed between students and their leaders in small groups
Changing the World - through local and global service and sharing Christ in their schools and communities

SURGE is for students in grades 6-12 and meets most Sunday evenings at 6:00PM throughout the year.  For the most current SURGE Event Calendar, please click HERE.

We have a dedicated student room complete with couches, multi-media, air hockey and foosball next to a brightly lit gymnasium.  Additionally, we have an expansive campus for outdoor games.  These areas are "home" to SURGE, Student Leadership Training and most special events.

Safety is a priority; therefore, all leaders complete a thorough background check, interview and approval by our Pastoral staff.
