OUR MISSION:
We exist to impact the lives of students in our community in such a way that they experience life change and become life-changers.
what we do on the reg...
SUNDAY MORNING BIBLE STUDY
Every Sunday morning at 9:15 a.m., we get the opportunity to meet with students in small groups broken up by grade and interact with God's Word. We also have quarterly meetings, where instead of breaking up into our grade-specific groups, we stay together as "One Big Family", and have a chance to hear from other teachers, students, and more.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT WORSHIP
Wednesdays are our favorite night of the week, and we want it to be yours too! On Wednesday nights, we have two (2) services, one for Middle School students which starts at 6:00 p.m., and the other for High School students which starts at 7:15 p.m. Doors open at 5:00 p.m. for hangout time before we get started. We love seeing students from different schools, friend groups, and walks of life, come together to build relationships, grow as a family, and worship the Lord.
DISCIPLESHIP OPPORTUNITIES
In Fusion, we are seeking to try and make every meeting, pool party, game night, and any other time we are with students a discipleship opportunity. We are blessed to have a team of leaders made up of both staff and volunteers who have committed themselves to pour into the lives of students. We are aiming to grow and develop the next generation of church leaders and disciple-makers. The process starts here!
COMING SOON . . .
turning point weekend
March 1 - 3, 2024
We are so excited for our students to join us for a weekend of teaching, worship, and memories with friends that will last a lifetime. It will be a camp-like atmosphere without having to leave Texarkana. Ben Salmon will be our speaker for the weekend, and our very own Jackson Barton will lead us in worship. We are excited to have your student join us.

HIGH SCHOOL SUMMER MISSION TRIP
JUNE 17 - 24, 2024
The primary purpose of our trip to Panama is to minister to the communities of Bacas Town and Salt Creek Village. The missionaries and local church would like for us to engage in community ministry by distributing bags of food and serving at the local school. Our team will also participate in door-to-door evangelism in the afternoons. All members of the team must be ready and willing to share the Gospel and their testimony with people they encounter while on the trip, as that will be a big part of what we will be doing. Our Student Ministry team will help prepare each student for this.
