Program Schedule (During the School Year.)
Resonate (9:45am) – We begin every Sunday morning with a high energy, highly interactive praise and worship time and then meet in smaller groups to study God’s word and think about how God wants us to live.
Music Teams (9:00am) – We encourage students with musical talent and a dedication to practice to get involved with our music team that plays at Resonate. The teams are coached by our some of our adult leaders. Practice begins at 9am. Students are required to have and maintain their instruments or singing voices, be able to play from chord charts, or sing by ear, and have a good reputation as a believer among their peers at school and in the church.
Audio Visual Teams (8:45 am). – Students with technical skills in mixing audio signals or working with computers and artistic media may find a place to serve with this team. Please contact Hannah Francois.
Choir (9:15am & 11:00am) – Students are welcome to participate in our choir which serves on Sunday Mornings in both services. Please contact Pastor Steve Cottrell for any information regarding worship, music or drama.

Shaker (7:00pm-9:00pm) – This is our midweek program for high school students. The format and focus change on a weekly basis, but the first Thursday of every month is reserved for a drop in, which begins with a meal for $2, at 6pm.
Events for Grade 7 and 8 students:
Once a month, Grade 7 and 8 students gather on Friday, starting around 6:30pm. They meet all over the place and have lots of fun. Contact Melissa Reinsma for information. Please follow our announcements and Calendar for a schedule.
Events for High School students: Our pastor usually promotes one activity in each month of the school year which is meant to be a fun social event where people can connect with others in a relaxed environment. In addition,
families and students organize their own activities in smaller numbers. These events are not advertised but you can usually find out what’s going on by asking around. If you can’t find something good to do, invite people to do something good with you!
Snacs: On Sunday evenings students often meet together in their homes for fun and food! Contact Jenn Martin for information on hosting our high school students in your home.

Occasionally, we’ll host or attend a large scale event requiring students to pre-register in advance. These are great opportunities for students to take advantage of. Typcial retreat weekends are in November for grade 7/8 students and February for high school students.
