In the Old Testament covenant the people brought offerings of animals or produce not only as a sacrifice to atone for their sins, but as an offering to the Lord in thanksgiving and joy for all He has done. In the new covenant Christ has become our perfect atonement and sacrifice for our sins (Hebrews 10:10). It is then our delight to give our Lord the first fruits of all He has blessed us with in thanksgiving. Sacrificial giving from the heart carries the great blessings of God (2 Corinthians 9:6-16).

We offer programs on both Wednesday and Sunday nights for this age group. Both The River on Sundays, and Deeper on Wednesdays, challenges and encourages students to experience the presence and power of a relationship with God.

Avodah is a local mission project for students in grades 9 - 12. We encourage them to serve the community in various aspects such as serving the homeless or helping at a women's shelter. It’s about coming together with hearts as one. Losing ourselves in worship as we work to serve the real needs of humanity in the name of Jesus Christ.
