InsideOUT

We are excited about launching our new ministry for high school students this fall.  Here are few questions to better help you understand what we are doing. 

What is InsideOUT?

A large group gathering for high school students to get to know each other, worship Jesus through live music and teaching from the Bible that has at its aim a deeper and ever growing understanding of the gospel so that we can be changed over time from the InsideOUT.
 

When does InsideOUT meet?

On Sunday nights at 6:30 during the school year in three 5 week terms. First term starts Sunday, Sep. 19.
 

Can I bring a friend to InsideOUT?
Yes!
 

What is InsideOUT groups?
They are a group of 5-8 students of the same gender that meet together before InsideOUT (@ 5 PM). Our purpose is to grow in relationship with God, each other and those in the world.
 

How do I signup for groups?
Come Sunday, Sep 19 @ 5:00 PM in the Youth Area of LBC.
 

Can I bring a friend to groups?
Yes and no, once the groups are formed they are a closed group for the term (5 wks). After the term is over your friend can join your group for the next 5 week term.
