High School Small Groups
High School Small Groups are a great place to grow closer in community with other students. They help develop deeper friendships and they create a safe environment to help you grow deeper in you faith. Our desire is that every student in our ministry would become part of this important faith-deepening step.
Our small groups consist of a few key elements:
  • An adult leader who is relationally connected with a peer group of students, growing deeper in relationship with God and each other. (Click Here to See Staff Leaders)
  • Exploring the Bible in order to understand how it applies to our lives, and then to applying it.
  • Honestly sharing struggles and pain in exchange for grace, accountability and life transformation.
  • Having fun being together.
Currently, High School Small Groups meet on a weekly basis, each Wednesday, from 7-9pm at WACC where we’re studying the book of Revelation. Come to the Pit at 7pm and we will be waiting there to connect you with your group.
