CORE is our student ministry program for middle school and high school students. Our vision for ministry is to be an encouraging community of disciples sent to build the kingdom of God. We exist to have a fun, encouraging, and discipleship-oriented environment for all students.
Sundays
Both middle and high school meet on Sundays at 10:30 AM in the Core Cafe, where we have snacks, games, teaching, community, table discussions, and, of course, candy. We have awesome teachers and table leaders who will help our students think deeper about their faith and how to practically apply it to their lives and their spheres of influence. Our purpose for Sundays is to be a learning environment that equips and challenges students with the essentials to be a committed disciple maker beyond high school.
Wednesdays
Middle and high school students meet from 6:45 to 8:45 PM on Wednesdays, but in different locations within Hershey Free Church. We have an awesome cafe (check out our chocolate chip cookies), games, chill spaces, dynamic speakers and small group leaders, and a whole lot of fun. The first Wednesday of each month, each small group meets in a local home during our normal meeting time. Our groups get to play games, engage in discipleship in deeper ways, and go through an inductive Bible study that has relevant application to their lives. We call these meetings our Home Groups. Our purpose for Wednesdays is to be a fun environment that develops deep relationships, engages students on their faith journey, and seeks to pursue God's way of living.
Home Groups | First Wednesday of each month | 6:45 to 8:45 PM | Various Locations
Our small groups meet in individual homes the first Wednesday of the month. This gives groups a chance to get to know each other better and have fun in a different environment.
Church: Beyond the Walls | Sunday, October 15
Families have an opportunity to serve together as our church embodies our mission to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
Join other parents of middle and high school students Sundays at 10:30 AM in room 403/404. To launch the group this fall, we will engage in the excellent study, Holy Sexuality and the Gospel. This 10-week video series, created by Christopher Yuan, focuses on how to help teens wrestle with what it means to look at sexuality through the lens of the gospel and God’s grand story. Consider attending this series, which will include time for interaction with other parents.
