Thirst Students Sunday Study | Sundays during the 10:30 AM Service
Thirst Students Sunday Study | Sundays during the 10:30 AM Service

Thirst Students Sunday Study is for students in 5th–12th grade and takes place during our 10:30 AM service. Students will meet in The Lounge before service begins, then shortly after 10:30 AM head upstairs to The Loft for Bible study together. They’ll begin by walking through Genesis and discovering how it points to Jesus, followed by a study through the Gospel of John. It’s a great opportunity for students to dig deeper into God’s Word, ask questions, and grow in their faith together!

We've got so much going on that we can't announce it all from the stage every Sunday! Here are additional events and other happenings...

Stay Connected!

Want to get a glimpse of who we are throughout the week? Follow Thirst Church on Facebook and Instagram! From fun reels and encouraging posts to weekly live conversations with our pastors and updates on everything happening at Thirst, our social media is a great way to stay connected. It’s often the first impression people have of our church, and we hope it reflects exactly who we are: a community that loves to laugh, loves people, and loves Jesus even more.

AGAPE: LOVE | Word of the Year

Each year, we choose a guiding word to focus our hearts on God’s direction, shaping how we pray, trust Him, and live out our faith together. Our word for 2026 is Agape: the selfless, sacrificial love of God. Our theme verse comes from the Gospel of John 13:34: “Love one another as I have loved you.”

To help keep this word and verse before you all year long, you can download phone and smartwatch wallpaper backgrounds from our website featuring our Word and Verse of the Year designs! Also! We’ve got FREE Agape stickers available! Help us share our Word of the Year by grabbing one from the Welcome Table in the lobby before or after service. Stick it on your water bottle, laptop, or wherever you’ll see it often, and be reminded to live out Agape love all year long!

Thirst Merch | Agape Series Hoodie & T-Shirt!

Don’t forget to check out our Thirst merch shop! We’ve got a variety of Thirst-branded apparel and gear available online, and you can view samples of almost everything we offer right in the lobby on Sunday mornings. Be sure to take a look at our new Agape Series hoodie and t-shirt as we walk together through the book of John and grow deeper in the love of Christ.
