Students

We exist to raise up a generation of students who are fully surrendered to God and his purposes on the earth.

5th–6th Grade

FiveSix

The FiveSix family is a life-giving community for 5th and 6th grade students to grow in friendship with God and with each other. We meet for an hour during the weekend services and host fun, off-site events throughout the year. We’d love to have you join us!

When

We meet during the weekend services.

Where

The FiveSix classroom is across the lobby in the Gathering Room.

Overview

Students are dismissed to their class after worship. No security tag is needed for student pickup at the end of the service.

7th–12th Grade

Middle School & High School

Through Sunday night gatherings, connection events, regional youth gatherings, and summer mission trips, we want each student to be deeply connected to God and others. The gospel of Jesus Christ is our core message. Come join our ECC Youth family to grow in the knowledge of Jesus and be equipped to make him known!

First Sundays (First Sundays of the Month)

Join all 7th–12th graders on the First Sunday of the Month from 5:00–8:00 p.m. at ECC in Auditorium B and Cafe. We kick off the month with dinner, live worship, powerful teaching, and interactive games.

Small Groups (All Other Sundays)

We meet on all other Sundays from 6:00–8:00 p.m. Middle Schoolers (7th–8th) meet at ECC in Auditorium B and Cafe. High schoolers (9th–12th) meet at various house groups (register for a house group through our ECC Youth Student Group Registration). These nights are an amazing opportunity to dive deeper with small group discussion, worship, and a snack!
