The Blow Out meeting coincides with our church's Sunday evening Central Teaching. Jr. highers can learn about God, his grace, friendships, right and wrong, and how the Bible applies to their lives.

These meetings are great places for students to come and enjoy learning about Christ in a "non-churchy" setting. In this fun atmosphere, our Christian students feel more comfortable bringing their friends. Currently, we see about 200 students attending each week.  

For meeting times, see our meeting schedule.

So what actually happens at the Blow Out?

As soon as the students arrive, they can jump into a fun game of killer dodge ball, basketball, weird ball volleyball, foosball and our famous "marble casino football." Actually, there are many other fun things to do, so the list goes on and on.  And if students don't want to get involved in these games, they can just run around, skateboard, socialize or just annoy one another, the way junior highers like to do.

Dodge ball, a Jr High favorite.

After a while, we'll assemble for a video, skit, or sometimes even discussion groups. Other times we'll begin by sponsoring, "The Game"--breaking down into teams and competing against each other in some of the most hilarious games ever thought of by mankind. The winners receive thousands of points for their team and often win valuable prizes.....like candy bars. 

Immediately after this, we gather around and enjoy a cool  teaching and discussion about God. An adult or college students teach a biblical passage or topic while students follow along for themselves in Bibles provided at the meeting. Often, one of our students gives a short teaching or testimony s/he has prepared.  It's a great time!

Afterward,  massive amounts of snacks are consumed. On special occasions (or on a whim) we will serve real food—pizza, subs, tacos, or Chili (on Super Bowl Sunday).

Blow Out is a great place for junior high students to find out about God and have a blast doing so!
