Built by students, for students
PULSE started with fourteen kids in a church basement. Now it's a movement.
How we started
PULSE began in 2018 when a handful of high schoolers asked their youth pastor for a night with louder music and shorter sermons. He said yes, and they brought forty friends the next week.
Today, students lead the band, run the lights, shoot the videos and plan the events. Adults are here to coach, not control.
We are not a youth group that happens to meet at a church. We are a crew that happens to love Jesus. Come see for yourself.
What we're about
Real
No masks. Say what's going on.
Loud
Worship like you mean it.
Together
Nobody sits alone.
Sent
Take it back to your school.
