Welcome to Axis Student Ministries!

Axis is New Horizon’s student ministries program for students beginning in 6th grade and continuing through high school. During a night of Axis a student can expect fun games, powerful worship, applicable teaching, and meeting with small groups of students the same age and gender as themselves.

Axis is a safe place for students. The leadership of Axis strives to make Wednesday nights a place that students can be accepted and cared about for who God created them to be. We have a dedicated team of adult volunteers who share a passion of seeing students lovingly transformed by the fantastic grace of God.

Each night at Axis we normally begin with a game or some type of group activity. We then have live worship with our college age/student led band. There is a time of teaching and then we break into small groups. Our small groups are divided by Jr. and Sr. High in addition to also being divided by gender. After our small groups we have a few minutes to just hang out with some of the coolest students on the planet.

If you would like any more information about Axis please do not hesitate to contact me.

  • Digital Scavenger Hunt Recap

    You know..., it's officially fall, one of my favorite times of year!  To kick off the fall season for Axis, we had a Digital Scavenger Hunt last Sunday. A digital scavenger hunt is when we provide students and adult drivers with a list of items to take digital snapshots of. We launched from New Horizon, scrambled all over Champaign-Urbana, and then back to New Horizon in one major flurry of activity.  We had 35 students attend the event, 8 adult drivers, and several other adult volunteers who made the afternoon an amazing success.  I want to offer a sincere thank you to each parent, student, and volunteer who made our Digital Scavenger Hunt possible.  By donating your time, energy, and resources, you helped fulfill one of the key components relating to the mission statement of Axis: connecting students to God and to each other.  When we have crazy fun events, it truly does help students connect to each other - which in turn, provide a greater possibility for them to support each other when things get rough.  So, thanks again for taking time on Sunday.  Every little thing adds up... it really, really does.
