We’re not just building better students. We’re shaping lifelong disciples.

MIDDLE SCHOOL MINISTRY

Middle school is a wild ride—and we’re all in. Whether your student is curious, awkward, confident, or just trying to survive, this is a place where they’ll belong before they believe. Our gatherings are full of fun, small group connection, and real conversations about faith and life. We believe, like Chap Clark reminds us, that students don’t just need programs. They need consistent adults who show up, listen first, and love well.

CURRENT MIDDLE SCHOOL SERIES
XP3 Orange: “First Things First” 
In this series, we’re pointing students toward putting the first things first in their faith: loving God, loving others, and loving themselves.

It’s easy for middle schoolers to see faith as complex and complicated. And at times, it may seem like it is! But for the most part, following Jesus with their lives can be pretty simple. In this series, we’re pointing students toward putting the first things first in their faith: loving God, loving others, and loving themselves. In other words, we’re talking about the Greatest Commandment! When they put that first, faith can be a lot simpler than your students may have ever thought!

Week One: Love God—because God loved you first.
Week Two: Our value is determined by God.
Week Three: Everyone matters to Jesus, so everyone should matter to us.

FALL 2025 MIDDLE SCHOOL SMALL GROUPS

Begins Wednesday September 3rd - November 19th | 6:30PM - 8:00 PM
Middle School Small Groups: 
Small groups are the heartbeat of our middle school ministry—where real friendships and honest conversations happen. Groups are grade and gender-specific and led by trusted adult mentors who stay with them through their journey.

HIGH SCHOOL MINISTRY Grades 9–12 | Sundays @ 11A

Small Groups Sundays @ 6P (beginning August 31) Because high schoolers don’t need hype—they need hope.
At CF High School, we help students find identity in Christ, ownership of their faith, and a community that walks with them. This fall, we’re diving into a new series inspired by What If Jesus Was Serious… by Skye Jethani—a bold, honest look at Jesus’ teaching in the Sermon on the Mount and how it transforms our everyday lives.
We’re not aiming to create “better teens.” We’re cultivating resilient disciples who understand that following Jesus isn’t about image or performance—it’s about being transformed from the inside out.

“If Jesus was serious… then following Him must change how we live and love every day.” — Skye Jethani

FALL 2025 HIGH SCHOOL SMALL GROUPS
Begins Sunday, August 31st-November 16th | 6:00P - 8:00P
High school small groups are where transformation happens. Students share meals, dive deep into Scripture, ask tough questions, and experience authentic community. Each group is grade + gender-specific, led by consistent, background-checked mentors.

Why We Gather
Because high schoolers don’t need perfect answers—they need safe spaces, deep friendships, and a faith that holds up in real life.
We believe students are not just the church of tomorrow—they are the church of today. Through teaching, service, and student-led leadership, we equip them to live with purpose, courage, and love.

Partnering With Parents
Your voice is the most influential in your student’s faith journey. Join the conversation by asking what they’re learning, practicing generosity and prayer together, and modeling a life that values what Jesus values.
