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.

YOU BELONG HERE.

Youth Gathering

Youth Gathering is our weekly Wednesday night experience during the school year for students in 6th–12th grade. We meet at Harris Creek from 6:30–8:30p, gathering three Wednesdays each month for worship, teaching, community, and fun. Please reach out to youth@harriscreek.org for any questions.

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. Life Groups meet once a month on Wednesdays 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.

DIVE Summer 2026

Wednesday nights throughout the summer, the youth will meet at homes for fun nights of swimming, food, a devotional, and group discussion. Middle School will meet from 5:30-7p, and High School will meet from 7:30-9p. These will be great times to further community as a Youth Ministry – students will not want to miss it! If you have any questions, contact the youth team youth@harriscreek.org.
