Our students, grades 6th through 12th gather weekly to open God’s Word and hang out with one another. This is a great time for students to build relationships and accountability with one another, and learn how to live as followers of Jesus in today’s culture.
WEEKLY GATHERINGS

WHAT TO EXPECT
Get Connected. Go Deeper.
Right before our gatherings start, our students engage in fellowship and some games such as 9-square and Spikeball! At 6:15pm we'll start our gathering with a game or two and then some worship performed by our own student worship team. Then your student will get to listen to a message preached on the current series being taught. Right before the evening ends, your student will get to connect with other students in their corresponding grade and gender in small groups with their small group leaders. The evening ends at 7:45pm and then you may come and pick up your student!

FAQs
Q: Can my student come to SOR?
A: SOR is open to all 6th - 12th graders on Wednesday nights! We determine your grade level by what classroom you sit in. For example, if your student finishes elementary school, they are not considered a 6th grader until the fall school year begins and they are enrolled in a 6th grade classroom. If your student graduates high school, they are still considered a 12th grader until the school year begins and they would no longer be in a high school classroom.
