What is Crux?
Crux is CTK’s student ministry for grades 6 through 12. We gather every Sunday night for worship, a message, small groups, and the kind of community that makes kids want to come back. It’s students figuring out faith together, with leaders who genuinely care.
What to Expect
Every Sunday night, Crux gathers for worship, community, and teaching that connects faith to real life. Doors open at 5:30 PM.
We meet from 5:30–7:30 PM for dinner, games, powerful worship, Bible teaching, and groups where students go deeper in discussion together.
Beyond Sunday Nights
Throughout the year, students have the chance to go deeper through camps, trips, and events that build community and stretch faith in ways a Sunday night can’t always reach. Follow us on Facebook so you don’t miss anything.
Mission Trips
Every summer, High School Crux students go on a mission trip, serving others, seeing the world from a new angle, and living out their faith somewhere beyond Steele Creek.
Most recently, students served homeowners in Copperhill, TN, an area devestated by the latest hurricane. With phones off and eyes up Students learn new skills, build together, and worship Jesus through real service.
Summer Camp
Every summer, students spend a week at camp. They make new friendship and experience real moments with God. It’s consistently one of the things students talk about all year long.
