The Filling Station

Our Sunday night gathering for 7th through 12th grade students. Students worship together with a live praise band, talk about important topics, and of course, eat, hang out and have fun! Most Sunday nights students form breakout groups where they discuss the evening’s topic with others in their same grade. Sunday Nights at the Filling Station meets most Sunday nights during the school year from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.
