Welcome to Elevate, North River’s ministry to students in 6th -12th grade!

At Elevate, we meet students where they are at. No question about faith or God and how they intersect with everyday life is too small or too big! We passionately believe that God is moving in this generation, equipping them to lead in the church, in their schools, and beyond!

Our ministry leaders work together with students to tackle the big questions about life and faith, not talk at students, recognizing that they often gain as much or more from these conversations as students do. Questions like… Who was Jesus really? Why am I here? What is my purpose? Why choose God? Isn’t “good” good enough? Can the Bible really be trusted? How do I make good decisions and priorities in my life? If God is good why is there so much bad in the world?

Elevate Middle School

Students meet during the 9AM and 11AM services on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month in Classroom A. They also meet for another monthly scheduled gathering which is announced each month. October and November can be found below!

Current Middle School Series:

Despite being the most connected people in history, many people have never felt more alone. In “Social Cues” we will explore what it means to be a good friend, how to identify good friends, and let it soak in that we are never truly alone when we have Jesus in our lives!

Elevate High School

High School Students meet on Sundays from 1PM-3PM in The Cove. They also have special events and trips as announced. October and November can be found below!

Current High School Series:

Can a “book” made up of many books written over thousands of years really be trusted as true or accurate? How can we know for sure that the books that are in the Bible are the right ones? What about all the books that didn’t make it in? “Can I Trust the Bible” takes us on a journey through ancient lands and history to help answer some of these questions.
