Western Hills Youth Ministry

The WHYministry is made up of great teens and adult staff (called Guides) who strive to know Christ, become more like him inside and out, and help others do the same.


It’s a small but growing group of 7th through 12th graders who share one thing in common: they’re interested in finding God. That’s it. To be a part of the WHYministry you don’t have to be a Biblical scholar, a tremendous athlete, or the most popular kid at school. You don’t even need to be a Christian. You just need to be curious about God.



We offer many opportunities for teens to build strong relationships, ask hard questions, examine their beliefs, and make a difference in the world. Check out the essentials section to learn more.



Sunday Morning

veritology means “the study of truth”. Each week, we read a section of a book of the Bible, then ask the questions "What lessons can we learn from this scripture?" Students become instructors, and we're all taught by the Holy Spirit as we develop the skill of studying scripture.


We meet at 930am; High Schoolers in room B24, Jr Highers in room B25.




Sunday Night

A church can’t be the Church unless the people build and maintain a loving, committed community. Our goal is to get together often and do just that. At [together], we make time for each other.



We meet in room B24 most weeks. The doors open at 430pm and we head home by 7pm; come when you can, leave when you have to.




Wednesday Night

Based on Colossians 3.1-2, at UPRISING we strive to exalt God in worship, elevate our thought-lives, see things from a higher vantage, and lift our eyes off of ourselves. In essence, we want to carve out a part of our week in which we reevaluate our priorities, realign ourselves with the image and work of Christ, and reestablish his Lordship in our lives.


We meet at 615pm in room B24 (doors open at 550pm).
