Weekly services

  • Wednesdays

    Join us on Wednesday nights at 6:30 pm for a time of fun, fellowship, worship, a word from Pastor Reed, followed by small group time.

    We are currently in a series titled “Heroes of the Faith,” which is our verse-by-verse study of Hebrews 11. We will be learning from the lives of men and women who followed God with courage and trust.

  • Sundays

    Join us Sunday mornings at 9 am as we dive into God’s Word, and we meet with our small groups. A combined worship service follows at 10:30 a.m.

    We are currently in our series, “God With Us,” where we will discover God’s presence during this Christmas season!

  • Come Sit in Student Section

    Come rep the ELVT Student Section and bring the energy! We will sit in the far right section towards the front (the closest to where Pastor T plays piano). We hope your student will come sit with us!

  • Landmark Bible Study

    Landmark Middle School Students: Join us every 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month at 8:30 am to study the Word with Pastor Reed before school.

  • Summit WKND '26 - YTH Conference

    🌄 SUMMIT WKND 2026 • ELVT Students
    January 30–February 1 | East Pointe Church
    Theme: ALL IN (Luke 9:23)
    “All of Me for All of Him.”

    Students, this is the weekend you don’t want to miss. At the start of a new year, we’re gathering to reset, refocus, and respond to the call Jesus gives: to be ALL IN. No halfway faith. No part-time Christianity. Jesus wants all of us — heart, mind, and life — and He gives us all of Himself in return. 🙌🔥

    This weekend is designed with purpose:

    Spiritual Reset — Quiet the noise. Re-center your life on Jesus.
    🤝 Unity — Build real friendships and deepen your student family.
    🎒 Outreach — A perfect event to invite friends from school.
    🚀 Momentum — This weekend launches the direction of our year at ELVT Students.

    We’ll have powerful worship led by Trinity Worship, teaching from Trey Warren, small group moments, insane activities, and memories that will last long after the weekend ends.

    ✅ Registration: $50

    This includes all sessions, meals, activities, materials, and a Summit WKND gift.

    Because this year…
    We’re ALL IN.

  • Student Leadership

    Step Up. Lead Boldly. Live the Example.

    At ELVT Students, we believe leadership isn’t about titles — it’s about towels.
    The Student Leadership Team exists to develop high school students (10th–12th grade) who want to grow in their faith, serve others, and lead by example in their schools, homes, and church.

    💡 What Is ELVT Student Leadership?

    The Student Leadership Team is a group of committed students who take ownership of the ministry. These students don’t just attend — they lead.
    From helping plan events to welcoming new students, from leading small groups to serving behind the scenes, this team sets the spiritual and relational tone for the entire ministry.

    🔥 What We Value

    1. Character Over Position
    Leadership starts with your walk with Jesus. We care more about your heart than your highlight reel.

    2. Service Over Status
    Leaders go first in serving others — because Jesus did.

    3. Growth Over Comfort
    We’re all in process. Leaders are teachable, humble, and hungry to grow.

    🙌 Who Can Apply?

    Students currently in 10th–12th grade who are active in ELVT Students and ready to take the next step in their faith and leadership.

    📝 Ready to Lead?

    If you’re ready to go all in and use your influence for God’s glory, we’d love to have you apply!

I Have Questions...

💬 I Have Questions

Real Questions. Real Faith. Real Answers.

We all have questions about life, faith, and God — and that’s okay.
In our upcoming series, “I Have Questions,” we’re tackling the real topics students are asking about — the doubts, the confusion, and the stuff we often don’t talk about in church.

This series is all about creating space for honest conversation and biblical answers.

🙋‍♂️ What Kind of Questions?

No topic is off-limits.
We want to know what you or your student are wondering about.

Some examples:

  • Why does God allow bad things to happen?

  • Can I lose my salvation?

  • What does the Bible say about identity or anxiety?

  • How do I know God is real?

  • Why is following Jesus so hard?

Whether your question is deep, personal, or just something you’ve always wondered — we want to hear it.

📝 Submit Your Question

We’re collecting questions from students and parents as we prepare for this series.
Every response helps us speak directly into the real conversations happening in our homes and schools.

👉 Click here to submit your question anonymously

🔥 Why This Matters

Faith isn’t afraid of hard questions — and neither are we.
Our goal is to help students discover that God’s Word truly has the answers they’re looking for.

So, what’s your question? Let’s talk about it.
