4. What does a typical Youth Group and a weekend service look like?

Youth Group takes place every Wednesday night from 6-8:30pm. This is a high-energy night where students are able to connect with leaders, friends, and, most importantly, God. Youth Group is the number one way for your child to get connected in CCO Jr High because of our small groups. These groups are divided by grade and gender.

Junior High Weekend services are limited to Sunday mornings during the 9am and 11am services. They begin with worship and announcements in the main sanctuary. After announcements, the students meet in the foyer and will be escorted by leaders up to the Junior High room for a game and teaching. After service, students will be guided by leaders downstairs to reconnect with their families in the foyer.

Drop off and pick up is located outside on the West Side of the building. There are signs to help direct you to the right spot. During pick up at the end of the night, you can park and meet your child or you can drive up and a leader will assist you in calling your child.

6. Is my child supposed to check in or register before coming for the first time?

On Sunday mornings, all students will check in with the assistance of one of our leaders. On Wednesday nights, student Check In is located at the First Time table. Wednesday Check In's will be from 6-6:30 pm, make sure to stop by as you arrive. If your child has never been, please come with them to the First Time table and we'll get you connected.
