What Monday nights look like

Most weeks follow this simple rhythm. Come when you can—every week or whenever it works with your schedule.

1st & 3rd Mondays – Missional Community (6:30–8:00 pm)

We start with dinner together, then move into a mix of:


  • Big-group games and activities
  • Real talk about life, faith, and questions
  • Planning ways to serve our community
  • Time to connect and build friendships
  • And yes, plenty of snacks


Whether you’re just curious about Jesus or have grown up in church, you’ll fit right in.

4th Mondays – Social Night (6:30–8:00 pm)

These nights are all about fun and friendship. We might:


  • Go out for ice cream
  • Have a movie or game tournament night
  • Do an off-site activity together


They’re easy nights to invite a friend.

5th Mondays – Service Night (6:30–8:00 pm)

When there’s a fifth Monday, we focus on serving others through hands-on projects. Think:


  • Packing supplies
  • Serving local ministries
  • Helping meet real needs in our community

Stay up to date

Holidays and special events sometimes change our rhythm.

Pro tip: Check our calendar for the latest schedule before you come.

ID Group – A deeper dive into following Jesus

(Currently full – new groups launch each school year)


ID Group is an intentional discipleship group for students who already follow Jesus and want to grow in a deeper, more active faith.


In ID Group, students:


  • Discover who they are in Christ
  • Notice and develop their unique gifts and purpose
  • Learn how to live like Jesus in everyday life
  • Practice sharing their faith in natural, authentic ways


Think of it like strength training for your faith: it takes commitment, but the growth is real.


This small group meets with Pastor Cheryl before our regular Monday night gathering to:


  • Grow closer to Jesus and to one another
  • Put faith into daily practice (not just on Sundays)
  • Build confidence in their faith journey
  • Begin to make a real impact at home, at school, and in the world

Current status

Our ID Group is currently a closed group, which means this year’s cohort has already begun and is journeying together.

Looking ahead

We typically launch a new ID Group cohort at the beginning of the school year. If your student is interested in joining a future group, we’d love to know:


  • Talk with Pastor Cheryl on a Monday night, or
  • Contact the church office so we can keep you in the loop about the next start date


There’s a place for you here

Whether you’re just checking things out, coming with a friend, or looking for a community to grow with, you’re welcome at CCstudents.


You don’t need to prepare anything.

You don’t need to know anyone.

Just show up—maybe a little hungry—for food, fun, and connection.

Upcoming Events

Our CCstudents Team

CCstudents is led by a caring team of adults who love Jesus and genuinely care about students. You’ll see parents, volunteers, and staff working together to create a safe, fun place for teens to belong and grow.
