24 seven is a group of students enthusiastically serving God, their church, the community, and each other.

The mission of 24 seven is to see students accept Christ, develop a lasting relationship with Him, and share it with others. 24 seven strives to be an avenue for parents and students to grow closer to God and each other.

24 seven’s Main Event is every Wednesday night from 7-8:30 pm. This is a night packed with high energy, hanging out with other students, praise and worship, fun and games, and a relevant message. There is usually a theme for the big event such as; pirate night, Phineas and Ferb night, PJ night, Western night, etc.  A resource center and the Snack Shack are available at our main event.
