This February, our students will be diving into a sermon series called Relationship Goals, focused on dating, friendships, boundaries, and what healthy relationships look like through a biblical lens.

We believe it’s incredibly important for the church to be part of the conversation around dating and relationships. Our students are already hearing a lot of messages about love, identity, and relationships from culture — we want to help ground those conversations in truth, wisdom, and God’s design. This series is designed to be practical, age-appropriate, and centered on helping students make wise, God-honoring decisions.

One of our biggest hopes is that this series doesn’t stop on Wednesday night. We fully expect it to spark great conversations at home between you and your student. To help with that, we post every message online every Thursday, and we strongly encourage you to watch or listen to it, and use it as a springboard for fun, meaningful, and honest conversations about dating and relationships.
You can see our latest messages below!

Thank you for partnering with us as we invest in the spiritual growth of your students. We’re excited for what God is going to do through this series — both in our youth room and around your dinner tables.

This isn’t just a coloring book… it’s a story.
Stay Sketchy is a one-of-a-kind, custom coloring book featuring our actual students, sketched from some of the most iconic, hilarious, and meaningful moments at Union last year. Every page captures memories, friendships, and moments God has already used in big ways.

But here’s the best part 👇
When you grab a Stay Sketchy coloring book, you’re not just coloring — you’re investing.

Every purchase helps send our students to Forward Conference, a summer weekend retreat where students encounter powerful worship, real conversations, and life-changing moments with God. This is the kind of weekend that can shift faith, spark purpose, and create memories that last way beyond the summer.

So color outside the lines.
Relive the moments.
And help make room for what God wants to do next.

🖍️ Stay Sketchy. Send Students. Change Lives.

This is a night your students WON’T want to miss.

We’re going all out with a FREE spaghetti dinner 🍝, Battle of the Sexes games that will get crazy, and a panel conversation that will no doubt be memorable (and probably talked about for weeks 👀).

We're encouraging students to bring their "significant other", or roll in with their friends—whether they've got a date or not, this night is for everyone. Expect laughs, competition, great food, and nonstop energy.

👉 Single. Taken. It’s complicated.
No matter the status—this night is going to be CRAZY.

We can't thank everyone enough for being so understanding and flexible to shift our trip to Skyzone!
We're happy to announce our make up date will be NEXT Friday, (February 13th)

If you previously registered, your student is still all set for this trip! If your student hasn't registered yet, it's not too late! Scan the QR code, or go to our Union Events page to get registered at anytime

We’re heading to Winter Jam 2026 in Norfolk, VA, and your student does NOT want to miss this night. One massive event. One unforgettable atmosphere. Some of the biggest names in Christian music all on one stage for a night of high-energy worship, powerful moments, and serious fun.

This is more than just a concert—it’s a chance to worship loud, grow deeper, and make memories with your friends that you’ll be talking about all year. Whether you’ve been to Winter Jam before or this is your first time, this night always hits different.

Students are encouraged to:
🔥 Bring their friends
🎤 Sing every word
🚌 Ride together
🙌 Encounter God in a big way

Tickets are only $15 at the door! Bring additional money for food and any merch you may want!

We are pleased to have a SUNDAY concert date! We will leave immediately after church and head to Norfolk (just over a 2 hour drive). The concert starts @ 5pm, our hopes is we'll be back at the church @ midnight at the latest. It will be a little late, but I have NO DOUBT your student will find the energy to be a part of this great event, and still be ready for school the next day!

Get ready, Union—Winter Jam 2026 is going to be NEXT LEVEL.

Just a quick reminder that the deadline for the initial $50 deposit for our upcoming trip to Forward Conference is Wednesday, March 4th. This deposit is required to lock in your student’s spot for the conference.

If your student raises funds through this month’s fundraiser, those funds can be applied directly toward the deposit, making it even easier to secure their spot.

Forward Conference is a powerful summer weekend retreat with the potential to be truly life-changing for our students, and we don’t want anyone to miss out because of a missed deadline.

If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at any time — I’m happy to help!
