Dating and Relationships

Thursday, June 4, 2026 • 10:45 AM - 11:45 AM

📍 Adventure Avenue Theatre

Dating in high school is one of the most exciting — and confusing — things you'll do. How do you know if someone's actually worth pursuing? Where do you draw the line, and how do you draw it without losing your mind (or your friends)? What does dating look like when you actually want to honor God with it? And how do you tell the difference between a relationship that's leading somewhere good and one that's quietly leading you somewhere you'll regret? In this high-school-only session, our special guest main event speaker Josh Teis and his wife Heather tackle the questions you're probably already asking — including whether your next date should make the cut and what great dating actually looks like. Expect candor, humor, and the kind of straight talk that can save you years of heartache.

Josh and Heather have ministered together at Southern Hills Baptist Church in Las Vegas for over 15 years, where they've watched a small church plant grow into a thriving congregation. Longtime friends of Pastor Jonathan, they share a deep passion for marriage and relationship ministry — they've spent decades counseling couples, speaking at marriage retreats, and walking alongside people in every season of love, dating, and commitment. Whatever you're wrestling with in this area, they've almost certainly helped someone work through it before — and they're bringing that wisdom to you.
