Get Involved in Merge
Merge on Facebook
If you are in middle school, the place to be on Wednesday nights is Merge. We meet every Wednesday night, 6:30-8:30 pm.
We like to try new things, have fun, learn about God and worship Him. There are lots of opportunities to meet new people and be a part of a community that is passionately seeking the Lord.
Finish out the Fall semester strong by staying connected with other believers. If you don't go to church much, you will feel welcome and enjoy yourself. See you Wednesday.
Top Ten Reasons you should come to Merge
10. It beats doing the dishes.
9. There will not be football on television, so why stay home?
8. Odds are, you’ll get to witness someone getting a nickname.
7. Grow Groups are back, and they are chock full of good times.
6. Harvey Etter made us a cannon last year. Are you not curious what this year will bring?
5. Jon is wise, and he likes to share.
4. Matt doesn’t mind getting peppered with paintballs if it means people sign up for activities.
3. Student led worship.
2. School puts you to sleep; Merge wakes you up.
1. It’s a place designed to help you find and follow Christ.
When you first walk into the gym on a Wednesday night, you will see a lot of people you do know, and many more you don't. The chaos will subside, and order will be restored when the countdown reaches zero.
Once we get started, you will get some jokes, some announcements, followed by something outrageous.
From the front end of the night, we will roll into a time of worship led by our student band. After worship will come a life-altering talk delivered by Jon or another fabulous leader.
You might think that after a life-altering message, the night would end, and you would be wrong.
Our Grow Groups are what we call our groups, and we splinter into them immediately following every message. Grow Groups are each led by 1-2 awesome adult volunteers, and are comprised of kids who are the same grade and gender.
For 45 minutes every Wednesday, students who have joined a Grow Group will meet together to discuss that night's lesson and pray for each other.
Students who do not wish to join a Grow Group, they have the option of going to The Next Big Thing, which is a larger group stair-stepping students into the discussion group lifestyle.
What are you waiting for? We'll see you Wednesday.
