We help students connect, ask hard questions and become more like Jesus.

What Is Lifeline?

Lifeline is a place for teenage students (grades 6–12) to connect with other teens and adults interested in investing in them. It’s a place to explore the story of God and find a place within that story. To engage with life-changing teaching, life-changing relationships, and life-changing experiences.

Lifeline Small Groups

We have a lot of fun at Lifeline but our small groups are where we really shine. Long-lasting change takes root when students have deep conversations and build close relationships—and when we give students intentional time to connect with each other and learn under the mentorship of a godly adult who loves and supports them.

How are Small Groups formed?

Each small group consists of roughly 6–10 students who are all the same gender, in the same grade and often attend the same school. Each small group is led by an adult leader with a heart to mentor students spiritually but also invest in their everyday lives.

Each Week at Lifeline

All campuses are the same. Weekly, Lifeline small groups catch up, discuss the lesson from the evening and spend time praying for one another. We hope students leave small group having grown closer to God and each other.

CORE VALUES

Truth

At Lifeline, we believe that biblical truth is vital and transformational in a student’s life. That’s why each week at Lifeline, students engage with biblical truth both through on-stage teaching and with small group conversations led by godly small group leaders. Students are consistently being challenged to look at life through a biblical lens and to encounter the world as Jesus would.

Relationships

Lifeline would not be Lifeline without the deep and integral relationships our students build with their small group leaders and with each other. We believe that these relationships are essential for profound growth to happen within the community. As students invest in those around them, they learn how to care for others, and how to be cared for; how to ask for accountability, and how to hold someone else to their word; how to engage in small group community, and how to serve those around them. We hope that our students are known, and know others.

Experiences

Whether it’s camp, a mission trip, or a senior student retreat—we know that outside-of-the-norm experiences can provide the space students need to reflect, open up, and worship. Lifeline seeks to offer a few highly intentional, potentially transformational experiences for our students every year. The experiences often result in pivotal memories of life change, new commitments, and deeper relationships with both God and others.
