Sunday night Worship @ 7:00pm Designed and executed solely with the worshiping needs of the junior high and high school student in mind. The music is loud. The subject matter is intense. Our messages deal with what students face everyday. Our goal is to give them something that they can apply to their lives... immediately... the very next day at school. This is worship where teenagers can come and experience God in an environment that is familiar and comfortable. It is a place where we speak their language, play their music, and meet them at their level. It is a place where we challenge each and every student to stop settling for the statistics. Sunday nights @ 7:00pm. Doors open at 6:30pm. |

Discipleship Discussion Groups Discipleship discussion groups exists to give students a chance to go deeper, a chance to dig into the Bible. Discipleship groups exist to give students who desire something more a chance to dive even deeper into God. The curriculum parallels what we discuss at the weekly Sunday night service, but is more than just a recap.
Sunday mornings @ 9:00am. |

Teams and Mentoring As Fuse began to grow we realized that it was becoming easier for students to slip between the cracks. That is why we divided our ministry into four teams: Peregrinus, Frendo, Ferocia, and Incendia. When a student comes to a Fuse event, they are assigned to a team. If they come with a friend, they join that team. If they come alone we connect them with a team that best suits them. Teams are strategically mixed to combine age, sex, and church home so that we can be truly "Fused". Each team has two adult team leaders: one male and one female. Team leaders will play a critical role in accountability and mentorship for each student. Teams will provide you with a sense of community, accountability, and encouragement. Teams regularly engage in servant events, spiritual formation opportunities, and outings. Team initiatives, servant events, and connection gatherings are regularly posted through ministry directors and team leaders at Fuse. |

Confirmation Mid-week classes We have come to discover a few students are looking for classwork in the Bible and theology in preparation for Confirmation. In partnership with Prince of Peace, Fuse offers classes on aspects of Luther’s Small Catechism, the Bible, and other life topics. Classes are divided into six-week sessions on Wednesday nights from 7:00-8:00pm at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Crystal Lake, a partner Fuse church. Located at 932 S. McHenry Ave., Crystal Lake, IL, 60014. Students must attend all six weeks of a class. Mid-week classes are cancelled if School District 47 cancels classes or closes early due to inclement weather. Contact Jen Younsteadt at jen123@owc.net or 847.217.2679 for the latest class info. Click here for our Confirmation Guidelines. |

Devoted Devoted is a daily devotional distributed Sunday nights at Fuse services. We believe the Bible plays a critical role in our walk with Christ, but we’ve discovered how little it was actually being used by our students outside of our services and Bible studies. After talking with the students we began to realize that the problem was they simply didn't know where to begin. Devoted is meant to help them begin the life-long practice of daily scripture reading. Devoted is also available at FuseMinistries.com. We encourage you to add your insights and push backs on the Fuse Forum. To access, click the Forum tab and register for your free account. |

Retreats Retreats are incredibly powerful weekends of close, personal time with God. There is incredible power in pulling back from the distractions of every day life and dedicating a couple of days solely with God. See FuseMinistries.com for details. Parent tracks are offered during many retreats. These are designed to spark conversation about issues your students face on a daily basis and discuss ways of helping them grow as God-honoring people. |
