What FUSE is

Friday nights, built for students

FUSE is where students in grades 6–12 spend Friday nights. It's built around three things: opening up God's Word in a way that actually connects, playing hard, and building the kind of friendships that hold up during a hard week at school.

You don't have to be a member of Jackson Baptist. You don't have to know anything about the Bible. You don't have to come with anyone. Students who have never set foot in a church are welcome here, and so are students who have grown up in one.

What a Friday night looks like

Ninety minutes, start to finish.

6:30

We start together

Prayer, and a chance to share highs and lows from the week.

6:40

Teaching

A message aimed squarely at where students are right now.

7:10

Games

Outside when the weather allows, inside when it doesn't. This gets loud.

7:35

Food and hangout

Snack and time to just be together.

7:50

We close together

And everyone heads home by 8:00.

Who it's for

Students entering 6th through 12th grade

Younger siblings in Kindergarten through 5th grade meet at the same time for AWANA, so families can drop off everyone at once and pick up everyone at once.

First time?

Everything you need to know

Where to go

Come in the main entrance. Someone will point you toward Friendship Hall.

What to wear

Whatever you already have on.

What to bring

Nothing. Bring a Bible if you have one, but we'll have extras.

Bring a friend

Seriously. It's easier the first time with someone you know, and your friend is welcome.

For parents

We take your student's safety seriously.

Two-adult rule

Two adults are present with students at all times — never one adult alone with a student.

Cameras in place

Cameras are in place throughout our ministry spaces.

Cleared volunteers

All volunteers complete a child safety clearance before serving.

Care needs

If your student has an allergy, a medical need, or anything you'd like our leaders to know, tell us before the first Friday.

Drop-off and pickup happen inside the building, and students are released at 8:00 PM.

See you Friday

Every Friday, 6:30–8:00 PM at Jackson Baptist Church, 360 Bennetts Mills Road. Come as you are — bring a friend.
