Xtreme Adventure (XA) offers students a fun-filled, high-energy morning of worship and small group time, as they grow in relationship with one another, their leaders, and most importantly Jesus. Incoming 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th graders (2025-2026 school year) can attend XA.

We highly encourage students to invite at least one friend to join at least XA in 2025, as it is a great opportunity to learn about Jesus while having a great time!
