At Christian Union Church, we seek to affirm and mobilize our students in their relationship with Jesus through engaging teaching. We also look to get them plugged into their own role in the life of the church. We believe that students aren’t just the church of tomorrow, they are the church of today.

Elevate
High School and Junior High Elevate both meet on Wednesdays from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM in the church fellowship hall.
Wednesdays start with a student friendly dinner. Teaching is shared by Martin Smith, the youth director, and, periodically, sponsors Cathy Gregait and Dana Smith. Matt Gregait, Abby Anderson and Sierra Staub are also sponsors. The teaching times focus on the Bible. Specifically, we hope to make the Bible’s teaching about Jesus and Christian living clear and practically relevant to students. Through the talks, we also help students learn the principles of personal Bible study.
Our Current Series:
Starting in August, we’ll start a four-week series focused on the openness of our hearts. We’ll be exploring the soils in Mark 4 and applying it to characters in Acts 8-9. We hope to see Jesus move us to greater openness to him as the year begins! Following the series, we’ll have a night of mini-golf and ice cream at ROC mini-golf in East Peoria on September 23rd.
Please join us! We’d love to welcome you and your friends!
