Friends, fun, and faith come together for students at Central! We provide a place for students to reflect, ask questions, and build community.

There’s time from 6:30-7:00 PM to hang out and play 9-square, pickleball, Guitar Hero, and more.

Then Rhythm and Impulse break out from 7:00-8:30 PM for more games, worship, small group, and Bible teaching. We have plenty of special events, retreats, and service opportunities throughout the year too.

Confirmation is an exciting opportunity for high schoolers to dive deeper into their faith, build relationships with others, and grow in the knowledge of what it means to be a child of God. Students walk with the same Impulse small group and mentor, attend retreats and camps, and serve the church and community throughout their confirmation journey. Confirmation culminates in a meaningful ceremony during the fall of 11th grade.

The culmination of the confirmation journey is The Rite of Confirmation. Young adults, having spent more than two years learning and growing in their faith, publicly share their decision to follow Jesus, “confirming” the choice their parents made at their baptism. 

There’s no better way to bond, explore, and dig deep into God’s word than going on a retreat! Check out the Upcoming Events throughout the year for our latest overnight retreats for high schoolers.

High School Seniors, we want to celebrate you and all of your hard work! During graduate Sunday each May, we will showcase our seniors at our worship gatherings. A the Honoring the Graduates Ritual, seniors take part in a memorable experience that will usher them into the next chapter of their lives. 

Help grow the next generation of God’s family. Serve as a volunteer with Central’s students on Wednesday, summers or at special events.
