Celebrating 20 Years in Downtown Mitchell!!
The students that we are serving today were not even born when Life Church first opened the entire main floor of our historic downtown location as a teen center. Those first students who were here during our early years would notice changes everywhere but would say it still feels like that place! We hope you will stop in someday soon to see what that is all about!
Attempt our Challenging Escape Rooms!
For almost two years we have also been hosting "escape rooms" as a FUNdraiser to keep improving this unique part of downtown Mitchell! On Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays (other days by appointment) you and a team of up to eight people can book your attempt at one of our challenging and fun room-sized games! This is a family-friendly, memory-making experience that we welcome you to attempt! Hundreds of people from businesess, sports teams, schools, churches, families, groups of friends and even couples out for a date have enjoyed this unique experience together. Check out our "escape" page for more information on how to book your escape!
You can also find great pictures of teams on our Facebook page. These rooms were designed to challenge ADULTS, so don't think this is just for the kids... Plan your escape today!
**"The Portico Paradox" is only available through September!**

The next time you plan to stop in, tell everybody that you are going to be at "that place" and get ready for the question we love to hear... "What place?" Make sure you smile when you repeat back to them very slowly... "that place!" We have found that parents especially love our name.
On Fridays we
are open from 7-11 PM
for students
in grades 7-12.
(Sorry 6th graders. We have a few
volunteers who
work at the middle school so please don't lie about your grade in a
weak attempt to get inside. Your 7th grade year will be here
before you know it.) If you are under 7th grade or
are
out of school and 18 or older, hanging out at that place is not an
option on Fridays.
Each Wednesday, our building is used by the student ministries of Life Church for the Life kids (elementary students in grades k-4) and Youth Worship (grades 5-6 and 7-12) See, we don't hate 6th graders - on Wednesdays we are here for you too! Students and parents are welcome to learn more about what happens here in the middle of the week by clicking on the Wednesday or Life Church links.
Young
Moms... If you are a teenage mom, are expecting,
or know someone who is, we have a monthly event that might be just
what you are looking for! We host a group just for young moms
and their little ones. Feel free to tell your story and ask
questions of some experienced moms without feeling judged. Find
out more by visiting our
Young Moms page on
the Life Church
site.
"Be part of the solution, not part of the problem!"
Wouldn't it be great if everyone, whether young or old, who noticed something that needed to be started, stopped, or improved within a community, would actually think about their role and then do what they could to make a positive difference? "that place" is the result of a group of students who did more than just whine or gripe about Mitchell or about what others were or weren't doing. They saw a need and were willing to use what they had, to do what they could to make a difference in our community. Today, you have the choice to be a finger-pointing complainer, or be someone who might just have an idea or resources that would make this or any place just a little bit better. Feel free to contact me if you have any concerns or ideas!
