Dive Student Ministries

DIVE = Deeper - Intense - Valid - Experience

Our Vision is D.E.E.P.

  • Develop a ministry that will
  • Equip students to reach the lost
  • Experience authentic relationships, and
  • Pursue the presence of God

When Jesus called the first group of disciples, he instructed them to "launch into the DEEP, and let down their nets for a catch" (Luke 5:4). As the youth ministry of the Capital Church, we recognize that if we are going to be effective in making an impression on today's young people, then we must "launch into the deep (you cannot build relationships by staying in the shallow water or on the surface), and let down our nets for a catch (We would rather DIVE in and get wet.)

We want to invite you to take a DIVE with us!

DIVE Varisty (Grades 9-12)

Varsity meets every Wednesday at 7:15pm in the DIVE Center. Students are exposed to awesome music, opportunities to meet new people and relevant truth from God's Word. The students who attend Dive are blessed with a youth center that includes a full service cafe, game room and lounge area. It's a place they can call their own.

Our goal is to lead students into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. We have found the best way to achieve this is through small group settings. Every week, following the message, students break into small groups based on gender and grade to discuss God's word and the issues they are dealing with. Each group has 2 adult facilitators who help guide the discussion and challenge the students to apply the truth they learn to their lives.

Within this setting, we focus our teaching and discussion to 7 critical areas:

  1. Spiritual Disciples
  2. Healthy Friendships
  3. Authentic Faith
  4. Moral Boundaries
  5. Ultimate Authority
  6. Wise Choices
  7. Others First

In addition to our weekly services, varsity also provides opportunities to attend Falcon Youth Camp, missions trips, weekend retreats and Fine Arts Festival. If you are interested in learning more about Dive Varsity, please contact Pastor Derek Mull at derekmull@mac.com or 919-772-5919

DIVE JV (Grades 6-8)

JV meets every Sunday morning during the A.M. service at the Dive Center. Students who attend have the opportunity to use the game room, build authentic relationship and receive relevant truth from God's Word.

As with Varsity, our goal is to lead these students into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. After a brief time of using the game room, students are brought together for a lesson from one of the 7 critical areas mentioned above (under Varsity) and then sent to small groups based on gender to discuss what they have just learned. Each group has an adult facilitator and provides care, accountability, relational connection and spiritual application.

In addition to our weekly meeting, JV also provides opportunities to attend Falcon Youth Camp, retreats, Fine Arts Festival and monthly activities. If you are interested in learning more about JV, please contact Pastor Derek Mull at derekmull@mac.com or 919-772-5919.
