Join us for Wednesday Night Life Groups!
2023 Wednesday Night Youth Life Groups (6-12th): This ministry opportunity is open to all 6th-12th grade students. What are Wednesday Night Youth Life Groups like? Well, every week looks a little different. However, being a part of a Life Group, talking about faith, and doing life together, truly are some of the most impactful experiences in one's faith journey and development. That is why we gather students and leaders in Life Groups! Students are divided by grades and gender for age and context appropriate groups. We know from experience and research that deeper conversations happen within these contexts. However, there are also tremendous benefits for students to be intergenerational (even among their peers) as well as in co-ed contexts. That is why built into our Wednesday Night Youth Life Groups programming are regular weeks, where students interact together outside of being in just their life groups for an evening. Below is what an average evening looks like. Wednesday Night Youth Life Group Structure:
- 6:00pm Doors open for students & leaders to hang, catch up, play games, and eat dinner.
- 6:30pm Larger Group Opener for everyone begins in the Worship Center. This will include welcome, prayer, announcements, ice breakers & etc.
- 6:50pm Students & Leaders dismissed to their different Life Groups for discussion & sharing, organized games and service projects.
- 8:00pm Life Groups conclude and students released to the lobby for pickup.

Middle School: grades 6-8
At OSLC, we have two long term goals for youth as they encounter youth ministry...
By growing relationships between the dedicated adults on the Youth Ministry Team, youth, and parents inside and outside of regular ministry times, we trust God to fulfill our hopes in youth's lives.
