What is Anthem?

Anthem is our high school student ministry. Each Sunday we have a time of worship, Biblical teaching, and small groups. Anthem happens on Sunday afternoons from 4:00-6:15pm.

Why does high school meet on Sunday afternoons from 4:00-6:15 pm?

There are two of the main reasons why we meet in the afternoon:

#1  We want to make Anthem an easy environment for our students to attend. Typically, Sunday afternoons are the least “programmed” time of the week for high school students, which means less conflicts for them!

#2  We believe that serving others and being connected to the larger community of faith is an important part in the growth of our student’s faith. We encourage our students to take part of our LOVE MOVES initiative on Sunday mornings. Our students can choose to serve in our Children's Ministry (birth–6th grade), Jr. High Ministry (7th-8th), Creative Arts Ministry, and our Welcome Ministry as a strategic part of LOVE MOVES. Our high school students serve alongside adults in all of these environments.  For more information Click Here

How does a student get involved in a Life Group?

The first Sunday that a student visits Anthem, they need to stop by our Host Table. They will fill out an On-Line Profile and the Host Team will give them more information about Anthem. After worship and the talk, students will be dismissed to small groups. At this time, all the new students will stay in the Student Room and a staff member will meet with them and get them plugged into a group.

How are groups formed?

We create our groups based on gender and grade.   But we are sensitive to allowing students to be in Life Groups with their friends.    We will do the best we can to keep those friends together.  If your student visits Anthem for the first time with a friend, they will attend their friends Life Group regardless of grade level.

Can parents meet or contact their student’s small group leader?

Yes! We encourage our leaders to partner with the parent’s of their students. We want leaders and parents to work together to help their students grow in their relationship with God and navigate through their high school years.
