Tuesday nights
What a Teens night looks like
Every Tuesday, 7:00 – 8:30 PM, at CityHill Church Northshore. Here is the usual flow — special nights and parties switch things up.
- 6:30 PM Leaders set up Room, Snack Shack, sound and supplies get ready.
- 7:00 PM Welcome & prayer Students check in, find their friends and we open the night in prayer.
- Worship We sing together — worship is something everyone takes part in, not a performance to watch.
- Message A clear, Bible-based message on one main idea, in language middle schoolers can relate to.
- Small groups Students form small circles of 2–3 (max 5) to talk about the message and how it applies to real life.
- Prayer Groups share needs and pray for one another, then we close together.
- 8:30 PM Games, Snack Shack & free time Hang out, play games and grab a snack. Some nights games are the main event.
Once a month: High School Takeover
About once a month, one of City Hill's High School youth home groups leads the Tuesday night — worship, message, games and small groups. It's a great way for our middle schoolers to connect with the older youth. Takeover dates will be posted on the calendar.

Part of something bigger
CityHill Church Northshore
City Hill Teens is one ministry of CityHill Church Northshore in Kenmore — a young, growing, non-denominational church that loves Jesus and its community. The church's mission is simple: People Saved. Disciples Made. Leaders Sent.
- Sunday services: 10:00 AM (English) and 12:30 PM (Russian)
- After middle school: students move up to the City Hill Youth group for high school and college — Fridays at 7:30 PM, led by Pastor Tim Tereschuk. The monthly takeovers help them get to know those leaders first.
