MIDDLE SCHOOL ALL-NIGHTER
October 3 & 4 at the Aurora Campus
Surge is all about belonging. Middle School students will be placed on teams for various fun, goofy team competitions throughout the overnight event. There will also be times of large group teaching and worship, as well as small group discussions with their peers and leaders. We will be talking about how we live and interact as brothers and sisters in Christ. Teaching will come from Acts 2 and 1 John 4, focusing on the fellowship of believers and loving each other. Of course, there will be food and snacks and time for students to hang out with friends. Surge activities will happen inside and outside, so students should bring clothes to accommodate both.
HIGH SCHOOL RETREAT AT EXPEDITIONS UNLIMITED
NOVEMBER 7 - NOVEMBER 9
Christ Community Church invites high school students to experience worship that reaches beyond songs and church services and has no limits. This powerful weekend will help you see that worship is a daily response to the unmatched name of Jesus. A name that brings freedom, draws near in every moment, and calls us to reflect his light to the world. From the quiet moments to the loud declarations, this retreat’s focus on No Other Name will lead you to recognize that Jesus is not only Savior, but Lord—and He alone is worthy of our lives, our praise, and our witness.
CARE NIGHT: REAL CARE. REAL HOPE. RIGHT HERE.
Christ Community Church’s Care Ministry’s mission is to offer hope through biblical truth, psychological wisdom, and authentic community.
Care Night is a collection of groups and classes to offer real care and real hope right here at Christ Community.
