SUNDAY MORNING BIBLE STUDY 

Every Sunday morning at 9:15 a.m., we get the opportunity to meet with students in small groups broken up by grade and interact with God's Word. We also have quarterly meetings, where instead of breaking up into our grade-specific groups, we stay together as "One Big Family", and have a chance to hear from other teachers, students, and more.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT WORSHIP

Wednesdays are our favorite night of the week, and we want it to be yours too! Doors open at 5:15 p.m. for Middle School hangout time before we start our fun and encouraging worship service at 6:00 p.m. for all students in 6th - 12th grades. High Schoolers are free to hang out with our Fusion staff following worship until 8:00 p.m. each week. We love seeing students from different schools, friend groups, and walks of life, come together to build relationships, grow as a family, and worship the Lord.

DISCIPLESHIP OPPORTUNITIES

In Fusion, we are seeking to try and make every meeting, pool party, game night, and any other time we are with students a discipleship opportunity. We are blessed to have a team of leaders made up of both staff and volunteers who have committed themselves to pour into the lives of students. We are aiming to grow and develop the next generation of church leaders and disciple-makers.  The process starts here!
