About NextGen at The Way
Here at The Way, we believe in LifeChange on EVERY level! Our NextGen students are unstoppable in what they can bring to their families, schools, sports teams, and everywhere they set their feet. We do not believe in a 'junior' Holy Spirit, and we know that this is a generation that can move in the gifts of God and pursue the Great Commission!
For every child from birth to 12th grade, there's a place for everyone! Every Wednesday night, we transform our entire campus for NextGen Nights, complete with age-appropriate ministry, worship services, and a fun atmosphere for all ages.
Wednesday Night
- Services are from 6:15 PM to 7:30 PM here at TWBC, and everyone from birth to 12th grade is welcome.
Sunday Mornings
- Parents must check in their child before service. You must keep your corresponding "check-in" tag to check out your child. This helps us ensure that only the adult who checked them in is able to check them out.
- Early Childhood (birth – Preschool) students are taken directly into their classes after being checked in.
- K-5th Grade Kids begin worship in the North Auditorium alongside their families. After worship, those kids will be dismissed to the back of the auditorium to have their own service (with small group time and a lesson) in the South Building.
- After service, parents will need to go to their children's classrooms from Birth to preschool to check them out. Parents with children in K-5th grade will need to go to the South Building Auditorium to check out their child.
- RAGE Student Ministries (6th - 12th grade) will worship in the North Building Auditorium on Sunday mornings.
Thank you so much for entrusting us with your young people. We are excited to see what God has in store for this generation!

RAGE Student Ministries (6th - 12th Grade)
- Our Student Ministry is for students from 6th - 12th Grade. Teenagers are developing quicker than ever, both physically and mentally. It is important to help them as they enter into this season of their life. We want to team up with parents and see them flourish in their faith walk while also helping them traverse the world of social media and issues never seen before by parents. We also encourage students of all ages to become involved by serving in the many areas of our church. Many already help by operating cameras and working in NextGen, Connect Team, and Production.
- Pastor Hunter Elliott is our Student Ministries Pastor.
