Summers with HSM
Our high school ministry digs deep into community during summer break, spending most Sundays and Tuesdays together. If you’re a high school student, (incoming freshmen, outgoing seniors, and everyone in between, we’re looking at you!) we’d love for you to be a part of our community as we enjoy incredible adventures, lots of laughs, and discover more about Jesus together.
HSM Sunday Nights | Room 208 | 6 – 7 PM
This summer at HSM, you’ll find 208 set up to create a cozy, informal atmosphere perfect for living-room style conversations with friends. Each week, a different host with a heart for students will lead us in discussion, with a goal of discovering together how Jesus answers the host of worries, objections, passions, and hurts of your generation. You’ll also hear a short testimony from a fellow student about how Jesus has made a difference in his or her life.
Our hope is that, as you spend time with us at HSM, you’ll come to discover more about who Jesus is and the difference he can make in your life as well.
Our “official” HSM service is from 6-7pm in 208, but we’d also like to invite you to come early for a grilled meal on the student patio (5:30pm-6:00pm) and then join us after HSM for Overtime Hangout from 7-9pm. You can read more about Overtime below.
Dates for Summer HSM: June 11, 25 | July 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 | August 6, 13, 20 | August 27 – SPECIAL EVENT (Bonfire at the Kosters’!)
HSM Sunday Night OVERTIME | 7-9 PM
We hope you’ll join us for “Overtime” hangout each Sunday after HSM, where the goal is simply to have a blast building community through a variety of planned activities.
OT is most often off site, with transportation provided for those who need a ride TO (but not back from) the hangout location. Pickup is 9pm at the location specified each week, unless otherwise communicated. Addresses are provided in the weekly email and at the beginning of HSM each week.
Tuesdays with HSM
In addition to HSM on Sunday evenings, we spend time together every Tuesday! The best part is that we alternate between hangouts full of summer vibes and meaningful service projects with The Inner City Christian Federation (better known as ICCF Homes), which provides housing to families in need.
