Wednesday nights are the best night of the week, and this fall it all starts on September 17, 6-8 pm for middle schoolers, and 7-9 pm for high schoolers. Each student is welcomed by leaders who create a space for fun and growth through worship, teaching, and small groups. Invite your friends – you just don’t know who might be open to the gospel.

No experience needed—we’ll train you. If you’re interested in learning more, email Jared Doran at jdoran@fiveoakschurch.org.
