  • Each night we have about 15 minutes of just “hang-time” before service starts. Once service begins, we kick-off with a short time of prayer, and then we hear a biblically-based message. Each week after the message we alternate between having a time of Worship or doing Small Groups.

  • Although most of our teenagers are in 7th-12th grade, we often have 6th graders join us if their middle school starts in 6th grade instead of 7th or if they are attending with an older sibling. We trust you as the parent to know if they are ready to come as a 6th grader!

  • Yes! The only Tuesdays we don’t meet are in the months of August and January when we are on break.

  • Email dani@southridgelife.com or call the church office at 402-932-1060 and they can direct your call.

  • No RSVP or registration is required for our weekly group. If we have special events that require registration, we’ll communicate that through our church-wide Happening Now calendar and via email on our Parent Email List.

  • Yes, absolutely! The more the merrier. We encourage our youth to intentionally invite students to youth group who are in need of community and hope.

  • Food is not provided at youth group, however, we do have a snack shack available where students can purchase drinks, chips, etc. Cost is usually $1-$2 per item. Every so often, when we are celebrating holidays or special events we will provide food and that will be communicated beforehand.
