Empowering the NOW Generation to influence the culture for Jesus.

With a team of leaders and mentors guiding them along the way, students are encouraged to not just conform to the culture around them but influence it for Jesus!

What's coming up

You probably think this series is about you

March 12-26th , 2025
This March, don’t miss the launch of our brand new series, "You Probably Think This Series Is About You", where we tackle the powerful topics of pride and identity! This 3-week series is designed specifically for 6th-12th graders, inviting them to explore what the Bible says about these essential themes. We’ll dive into the complexities of pride, self-worth, comparison, ego, and the struggle to find true identity in a world full of pressures. Join us as  Pastor Rowdy Lind unpacks what God says about who we are and how we can build a humble and authentic sense of self.

What would Jesus say to...

April 9th-30th, 2025 
Join us in April for our exciting new series,
"What Would Jesus Say To...", where we explore the intersection of faith, culture, and influence in 2025. With influencers like Jelly Roll, George Janko, Sabrina Carpenter, and Kendrick Lamar shaping the conversations around music, social media, and everything in between, we’re diving deep into  what Jesus would say to them—and to us. It’s a thought-provoking series designed to challenge perspectives and inspire reflection on how faith speaks into the influence of today’s culture. Don't miss out!

Sore
Subject

May 14th-21st, 2025
In our series "Sore Subject"  Pastor Rowdy Lind is diving  into the conversations many shy away from in today's society. From the complexities of dopamine and its impact on our daily lives to the realities of anxiety, mental health, and sexuality, we’re here to tackle the uncomfortable, the challenging, and the often avoided. Our goal is to foster open, honest, and respectful dialogue about the topics that shape who we are but are rarely discussed. Let’s break the silence and confront these “Sore Subjects” together.
