Our adult Grow Groups have been an important part of our church community for a while, and now we’re excited to introduce student Grow Groups designed just for 7th–12th graders. These groups are built for connection, creativity, and real conversations about life and faith. We’re experimenting with different formats this summer, and we hope you’ll jump in and help shape what they become. 

Here’s what we’re offering:

- **Journey Group**: Building community and exploring faith together.

- **Deep Dive Group**: Diving deeper into faith and engaging spiritual practices.

These groups will meet twice a month starting in June and ending in August, with the hope of gaining traction and continuing into the fall. Students can join one group to start, and depending on how many students we get, we may allow students to participate in both groups or even start a third group.

We’d love your input on what works best for your family! Click here to share the best times and days for your student to meet, and there’s also a space to share any thoughts or feedback about these groups. We can’t wait to hear from you and journey alongside your students!

This summer we have a few opportunities to come and serve at 2nd Mile in their Choice Pantry. The Choice Pantry is a place where neighbors can come and shop for food. We'll walk alongside our neighbors helping them out with their grocery shopping. 

Sign up here here

2nd Mile is in Missouri City and provides and meets needs for neighbors in poverty. They provide food, clothing, spiritual care and building relationships with their neighbors. This is a great opportunity for our students to serve alongside each other and learn how to work together to uplift families with grace and humility.

We’re excited to bring back Pool Days this summer. These relaxed, fun-filled afternoons are a great way for each group to cool off, hang out, and build deeper connections.
