YOUTH
WE EXIST TO HELP STUDENTS TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THEIR FAITH
It’s our goal to create an environment to help middle school and high school students take ownership of their faith. Students who own their faith have an intimate relationship with God, a deep love for others, and a heart of service for the world around them. This happens when students see God’s activity in and around their lives, and they decide to join Him in His work.

Youth Gathering
Youth Gathering is our weekly Wednesday night experience for students in 6th–12th grade during the school year. From 6:30–8:30p, students gather at Harris Creek for worship, teaching, community, and fun as they grow in their faith and follow Jesus together.
On the last Wednesday of each month, students meet in Life Groups. For questions, email youth@harriscreek.org.
Life Group Night
We believe every follower of Christ thrives in intentional community. That’s why every student is connected to a Life Group, organized by age and gender. The last Wednesday of each month, 6th–7th graders meet at Harris Creek for Life Groups, while 8th–12th graders meet in host homes from 6:30–8:30p, providing a space for students to build meaningful relationships, grow in their faith, and be known and cared for by leaders and peers.
Sunday Services
We desire for our students to be fully engaged in the life of the church, worshiping alongside the broader church family. We encourage every student to attend one of our Sunday morning worship services with their family and friends as they grow in their faith and become an active part of the Body of Christ.
