WE ARE NOT A YOUTH GROUP... WE"RE A MOVEMENT
A movement of young lives towards a higher purpose. Walk through the doors of Xtreme, and you are welcomed into an environment where friendliness is valued and possibilities thrive. Xtreme is a ministry that offers exactly what young people need to excel in their world.
Xtreme Hope:
Each week young people ages 12-19 gather on Sunday and Wednesday nights to experience more of God. Xtreme Sunday nights are geared toward discipleship and spiritual growth with small groups and all worship nights to encourage the young people on a weekly basis. Xtreme Wednesday nights are designed specifically as an outreach to provide excitement and hope to the middle of the school week. Students who are truly involved in Xtreme are consistently taken to a whole new spiritual level.
Xtreme Love:
Aside from everything that's offered at Xtreme Student Ministries, the most important thing of all is the relevant teaching and the dynamic worship that together brings students to a closer love of God. Each week Pastor Tim Defendorf brings an applicable and relevant word from God that the students can carry with them throughout the rest of their week and beyond. Xtreme's worship team; Pursuit of Red, ushers in the anointing of God with life-changing worship. The purpose of Xtreme is to see youth lives changed, build Godly relationship, and become disciples of Christ that are trained to do the works that Jesus and greater. We are not your average youth ministry, we are a movement determined to change lives for Jesus Christ.
Xtreme Entertainment:
The moment you enter Xtreme's facilities, it's evident that it is a ministry that rests on the cutting edge of technology. Boasting eight flat screens, six Mac computers, three X-box 360's, Play Station 3, and a Nintendo Wii, Xtreme is technologically relevant in every way. Xtreme also offers numerous big events throughout the year from our all you can eat Chocolate Night to spinning the big wheel and possibly winning a car on the Price is Right and everything in between. At Xtreme, there is always something for you.
Xtreme Food:
Hunger is a rare feeling around Xtreme. Before and after every Sunday and Wednesday night servic, great food is served in the Xtreme cafe with prices that will please the wallet. And if it's Xtreme thirst that you experience, we've got it covered from energy drinks to sodas. Xtreme cafe is always open and they have it all. Not only that, but food is also featured at big events and is made tastier by the fact that usually it's all you can eat for free! YUM YUM.
