Advance Youth


A place where teens can find personal support and engaging Bible teaching so faith in Christ transforms everyday life.

Middle school and high school are some of the most exciting — and challenging — years of life. That’s why we’re passionate about helping students follow Jesus in a real and lasting way.


Our student ministry is a place where teens can belong, ask hard questions, and discover how the gospel changes everything. Through weekly gatherings, small groups, and special events, we dig into God’s Word, build strong friendships, and learn how to live for Christ at school, at home, and everywhere in between. We believe students aren’t just the church of tomorrow — they’re the church today. God wants to use their gifts, passions, and energy right now to shine His light.


Our leaders come alongside students with encouragement, guidance, and truth. It’s about creating a safe, fun space where faith becomes personal and students are equipped to stand strong in a confusing world.


Life is brighter when young people know who they are in Christ. If you’re a student — or a parent — we invite you to check it out and take your next step with us.

What's Happening


Youth Sunday School: Sundays, 9 – 9:45 am

Advance Youth Group: Sundays, 6 - 7:30 pm

At East Side, we desire students to advance. We desire them to advance the gospel in this fallen world (Philippians 1:12-14) and to advance in their own spiritual maturity and godliness, setting an example for others in how they live (1 Timothy 4:12-16). We strive to achieve this by proclaiming the gospel, and by following Christ’s example and teachings in Scripture. Our one aim is God’s fame. This is why we are called Advance. Come enjoy fun games, snacks, small group time, and Bible studies with us on Sunday nights.
