Come together the last Friday of the month.
MERGE is when Middle and High School students from across the city come together as one large youth ministry.
The night is planned with the purpose of building community among students, leaders, friends and guests.
Students will begin the night by signing in, hanging out, and playing some low-key sports or icebreakers.
There will always be a special ACTIVITY for the Juniors and Seniors to enjoy, sometimes together, sometimes separately.
The nights include a service with PERSONAL STORIES, WORSHIP & a MESSAGE centring around the 2018-19 Topics.
Every month MERGE is hosted by a different church, so check out the schedule to know where to drop off your student!

Topics for 2018-19
MORE THAN A HASHTAG
Our world is not as it should be. There is pain, evil, and injustice all around us. In the age of social media, it is easier than ever to stay informed about all sorts of injustices, but is sending a tweet, posting a selfie, or sharing a video about an inspiring cause really all it takes to make a difference in the world? Or is it possible that justice is about something much more than a hashtag? In this 3-month series, we’ll challenge students to not just post about the injustices around them, but to actually do something about them by loving mercy, acting justly, and walking humbly.

JESUS LOVES
Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so.
If you grew up going to church, it’s probably the first song about Jesus you can remember singing. “Jesus loves me” may seem like a pretty straightforward and foundational belief, but let’s be honest . . . singing about Jesus’ love is a lot easier than actually imitating it. In this 4 month series, we’ll challenge students to observe, imitate, and be transformed by the radical love of Jesus for all people, but specifically His love for children, for the poor, for the stranger, and for the sinner.
