612 meets every Sunday at the church from 6:30-8pm September through May.
This ministry puts a priority on connecting youth to Christ and each other in a fun, yet meaningful way. Our vision is to provide a community setting where the youth can encourage each other to live a Christian life and find support in difficult times.
We want your kids to love church.
FUN
We believe that church should be the best hour of your child's week. So we make sure it's a ton of fun. From a indoor playground, cozy coupes with their very own road to reading/puzzle nooks, we have transformed our kid's space to make sure it's FUN!
SAFETY
The church should be a safe place, so we ensure your child's safety from the onset. From a dedicated check-in procedure to background checks for all of our volunteers, your child's safety is one of our top priorities.
LEARNING
We believe that the teachings of Jesus can lead to life change, so we weekly teach the principles He taught. We do so in a relevant, fun way that will leave your child with practical steps on how to use what they have learned.
Nursery
Birth to 3 years old.
Our dedicated nursery is only used on Sunday mornings, is sanitized each week and has the BEST people looking after your little ones!

We understand the importance of having a unique environment for 4th and 5th graders. Join us from 10:30 to 11:30 every Sunday. In this room there are games, activities, and fun. Above all, the students learn to grow in their relationship with Jesus while forming friendships with one another.
six78
Come and hang out with us Sunday mornings from 10:30-11:30 am. We start with fellowship, dive into the Bible and end with prayer time & more fellowship - all of it happens to bring our students into a closer and life-changing relationship with Christ. 
Miss Rachel
I am excited to meet you! I will help you learn about Jesus, how to pray and love God.
Our goal is to create a safe environment for our extra special kids to learn about God at their pace and in an environment designed for them.
Due to the nature of this ministry, we require pre-registration for them to attend Sunday morning. Please email Miss Rachel for more information.
Special Needs Ministry
Youth Group - 612
6-12 grade
Large Group
We begin each time with fellowship, followed by a game and a snack. We love to play inclusive games like volleyball, flashlight tag, chair basketball; anything where everyone feels included and has a ton of fun.
We end by breaking into small groups.
Small Groups
We break up our groups by age and gender. During this time, the youth will dig deeper into the Bible while forming bonds with one another and their leaders. Here is where your child will grow in their faith and be challenged to take next steps, all while growing closer to their peers.
We feel the close bonds they form during their small group time will carry them throughout their daily lives and the large group activities will allow them to have a ton of fun with like minded peers.
Special Events
We love to celebrate with special events. Large group activities such as; Back to School, Friendsgiving, Christmas, etc. will happen throughout the year. We also do a large group gathering once a month during summer; pool parties, volleyball tournaments, picnics, etc.
CIY
Every summer our 6-12 graders attend CIY.
During these conferences, students are challenged through intense, interactive worship, dynamic preaching, small group study and community building.
Students will not only learn and worship together – they spend quality time with their church youth groups, discovering ways that God will use them to impact the world.
This is more than just another conference or camp – it’s an experience! It’s an all-inclusive event providing food, lodging, recreational activities and an amazing program!
