6th - 9th graders, are you looking for something to do on Sundays besides hanging out with the adults? Then check out Buya down in the Underground.

Buya's about building meaningful relationships.That’s why on Sundays, our goal isn’t to get you to "settle down" so you can listen to a 10-minute pep talk that you’ll forget 5 minutes later, but about giving you the opportunity to meet other students your age and getting involved in a great community.

The different programs available for 6th - 8th grade students are:
  • Buya - Sunday mornings @ 11 a.m. — Students and leaders meet each other down in the Underground. We begin each week by hanging out and getting to know each other, and then move into small groups to personally explore each other's lives. Our emphasis is to make personal relationships between students and leaders the number one priority. We believe personal relationships are the foundation in building a passionate and fulfilling relationship with Jesus Christ.
  • Events - These activities bring our student community closer together outside of regular small group time. In addition to planned small group events/activities, we hope to create opportunities for new students to easily get involved in as well. Our events are about having fun, getting to know each other and serving others. We do everything from a day long !Vamos Road Trip to St. Louis to running a 3-Day Kid's Camp with our partners at Mission Adelante in Kansas City, KS. Info about upcoming events can be found at http://www.scelevate.com or by contacting Justin Talley (info below).
