CLA Youth is a place where youth (grades 6-12) belong, feel at home and are part of our family. We believe that God has instilled in each of our students the incredible capability to lead – regardless of age (1 Timothy 4:12). This means that our students can exceed in life knowing that God has an amazing plan for them.

In addition to Sunday services and Wednesday gatherings, we offer various opportunities for our youth to grow and have fun throughout the year – from special Bible studies to bowling to Youth Camp.

"There is nothing like throwing dodgeballs and spending time praying with students, all in the same night. And seeing their eyes open to the movement of Jesus is amazing!" 
- Adam Olson, Student Pastor

Join us on February 21 & 22 for Winter Fest 2025! This will be a fun two-day event with friends as we experience powerful worship, challenging messages, and authentic community!

We can’t wait for Sundays! Here is a snapshot of what we have going on at CLA for students.

Serve with Us | Serving is the heart of God, and instilling a love of serving helps young people develop a passion for the church. There are various opportunities to pick from, such as with Hospitality, Media and CLA Kids. Serving Interest Form.

Hang with Us | Students are invited to check out the Student Hub in the Youth Center every Sunday from 9:00-10:45 AM. They can stay for the whole time, or just stop by for a bit. Students enjoy connecting with friends through fun activities, great conversation and food! At 10:45 AM, students and leaders walk to our 11:00 AM service in the main Sanctuary.

Sit with Us | Students and leaders sit together in the student section (front right) of the main Sanctuary during our 11:00 AM service. Together, they press into worship and learn from practical, Biblical teaching.

We meet every Wednesday at 6:30 PM in the Youth Center. We want to ensure that our youth have the best possible experience getting to know others, growing in their relationship with Jesus and having fun!

We offer a fantastic first-time guest experience for our new guests to get connected to others right away. Youth experience large-group worship, relevant and Biblical teaching, games, and lively discussion in small groups (divided by age and gender) that address their real-life challenges.
