Second Story Youth is more than just a youth group—it’s a place where students are known, supported, and challenged to grow in their faith in a real and meaningful way.
We meet upstairs in the Connection building, and that’s exactly what Second Story Youth is all about~ rising above the noise, stepping into something deeper, and encountering God in a real way.
Our heart behind “Feel the Burn” isn’t about pressure-it’s about passion. It’s about a faith that’s alive, growing, and refining us. We want students to experience a faith that actually means something… one that stretches them, shapes them, and stays with them.
Through worship, community, and honest conversations, we walk alongside students as they discover who they are and who God is calling them to be. Our leaders are devoted and intentional, building real relationships with students not just on Wednesday nights, but throughout the week.
On Wednesday nights, all students are invited to join us for supper from 5:15 to 6:00 PM in the Fellowship Hall (our middle building). Supper is completely free for all students.
After dinner, our evening continues with youth programming from 6:15 to 7:30 PM. Doors open at 6:00 PM in the Connection building. Students experience a mix of worship, fellowship, and discipleship groups where they can connect, grow, and have meaningful conversations in a smaller setting.
We also gather on Sundays for youth Sunday School from 10:10 to 11:00 AM in our youth worship area upstairs in the Connection building.
Whether it’s your first time or you’ve been here for years, there’s a place for you here.

Living It Out
Faith doesn’t stop when the night ends. Throughout the year, we serve our community, go on retreats and mission trips, and spend time growing together in ways that are real and lasting. You can find all of our upcoming events below.
