new here? good.

First nights are weird for everyone. Here is exactly what happens so it is less weird.

  1. Pull in

    Use the Roswell Rd entrance and follow the green VOLT signs to the Warehouse lot behind the sanctuary.

  2. Walk in

    A student on the door team meets you, gets your name, and walks you to the food. You will not stand alone.

  3. Sit anywhere

    There are no assigned seats and nobody has a spot. Front is louder, back is chill.

  4. Meet your group

    At 8 you get a small group by grade. Same leader every week. They text you Thursday.

03Wednesdays

Volt is a room where students meet Jesus for real, find friends who are going somewhere, and figure out what they were made for. No performance. No pretending. Just show up.

It isn't a program.

It's the place where the week stays honest. An hour and a half where nobody has to be impressive.

  1. 6:30Doors and foodPizza or tacos. Hang out, play, find your people.
  2. 7:00WorshipLoud, honest, led by students.
  3. 7:30The messageTwenty minutes from the Bible that actually lands on a Wednesday.
  4. 8:00Small groupsSame leader, same group, same grade, every week.
  5. 8:30PickupParents pull into the Warehouse lot. We walk students out.

08for parentsthe plan, in plain english

parents: here is the plan.

You are handing us your kid for ninety minutes a week. Here is how we take that seriously.

Parents prefer a person, not a form. Here is the person. Dre Thompson Student pastor (770) 555-0123 dre@lakeview.example.com
  • cat / 1.01Safety

    Every leader is background checked and trained annually. Students check in by grade. Nobody leaves with someone who is not on your list.

  • cat / 1.02Communication

    One parent text every Monday with what is coming. Instagram for the fun. Email for the paperwork. Dre answers his phone.

  • cat / 1.03Cost

    Wednesdays are free. Camp and trips have a price and a scholarship fund. Nobody stays home over money.

  • cat / 1.04Forms

    One medical release per student per year, done online in about four minutes. We will send the link.
