About

Ministry

Xchange

Xchange is our Middle School Ministry, designed for students in sixth through eighth grade and packed with purposeful fun and discipleship.

Our ministry desires to point students to the glory of the gospel of Jesus Christ in the hope that they would be saved by faith in Christ and begin to embrace the benefits of committing to the local church.

We meet on Sunday mornings at 9 am and on Wednesday nights at 6:45 pm in T70 (Tower Basement).
