"Disciples Fire" is what we call the place where we gather. We have a camping theme in our youth building and we actually gather around a fake fire. While the physical flame is not real, there is a very real flame present and that is the flame of the Holy Spirit! And we want you to come and experience this flame with us! Come on....grab a camping chair, set it near the fire, and feel the warmth of the FLAME!
Our youth gather around "Disciples' Fire" for several reasons:
- Around the "Fire" is a cozy place. You feel comfortable talking about challenges, victories, and struggles. It's a safe place to share those burdens with one another and then to ultimately drop them at the foot of the cross! It is also a place to rejoice and celebrate together!
- Around the "Fire" is a place where you cannot stay cool. By being surrounded by Followers of Christ and being brought to the heat of His flame that is empowered by the Holy Spirit, we are constantly encouraged to grow closer to the Lord.
- Around the "Fire" is a time that reminds us that we are to constantly bring others to this place. We are excited about gathering here and desire that others would have the same opportunity!
- Around the "Fire" is a time to slow down and breathe. We can get so caught up in the business of our day that we forget to slow down at times and to know that He is God!
- Around the "Fire" is a place where you will make some of the best of friends. Those that will walk through the valleys and mountaintops with you.
WE LOVE YOUTH!
They're smart. They're funny. They're bold. And they're bursting with potential. We truly believe that the middle and high school students in our midst are world changers in the making. We desire to gather around "Disciples Fire" with you!

Gospel-Centered Living with YOUTH
Making Sure You are SAFE is Essential

Age-Based Learning is Essential
While we desire to enhance family Worship in everything, there is certainly a benefit in participating in age-based group. And at every age, the GOSPEL is the main focus! We walk through the entire Bible every three years (including some adult classes) on Sunday Mornings. This is to help encourage family discussion on the Gospel that week. It also shows how every single story is really ONE story that points to Jesus. We also meet together every Wednesday Night! We eat together at 6:30 and then gather around "Disciples' Fire" at 7pm. This is a time that you will be shown unconditional love and have the opportunity to make some new friends while digging into God's Word

Entire Family Worship is Essential
We believe that there is extreme blessings in worshiping as a family. It is so important to worship together. Therefore, we actually invite parents to come with you occasionally. We encourage you to come Sundays as well and truly worship with your family! We also want to involve families with different activities we do with the youth.

Walking through the Bible together as a Family is Essential
We believe having a good Bible and right direction is important. Therefore, we desire to help you with both. However, we believe getting a Bible can be a very personal, and rewarding. So we desire to walk alongside of families as they continue to seek God's Word together. One of the Ways that we desire to help is to give a Bible to the parents for them to give to their kids. We actually have a service designated for a time that parents can give a bible to their kids and pray over them at certain milestones.

Having the Right Tools is Essential
We believe Christians really do want to know and love the Lord more. However, this can be a daunting task. And often times, we can feel like we are failing. At Friendship, we get this. This is why we want to partner with you and equip you with the right tools. In fact, we have a whole center called "FAITH @ HOME" designed to equip you with these tools.

Celebrating your Family is Essential
Often times we can get aggravated with our family and even complain about them; however, it is important to see that family is a blessing given by God. As a church, we want to help you celebrate as a family often. One way is through those milestones mentioned earlier with the giving of the Bibles. We also have Family Sunday on 5th Sundays. This is a time to celebrate, encourage, worship, and fellowship as a family. This service is very unique and followed with a meal and family games. We also have Family Events that are designed to help celebrate as well.
