Sunday Morning

Every Sunday the youth meet for a light breakfast in the cafeteria to catch up with each other and to get ready to explore the Bible together.  A strong cast of biblically knowledgeable adult teachers help guide the youth into truth. On Sunday mornings, God’s word comes alive as the Holy Spirit moves.  We occasionally split into smaller groups for discussion of the passage to better understand God’s word, and how to apply it to their lives.  This fall the youth will be studying the book of Acts using the same Explore the Bible curriculum.

Wednesday Night

Wednesday night’s are all about relationships and setting the next generation up well.  The committed group of Wednesday leaders desire to root them in God’s Word and show them the love of Jesus.  This is a great place to bring friends, enjoy snacks, play games, and build relationships. The youth have some time to hang out with their friends and play games after a long day of school.  Afterwards the Jr. and Sr. high combine for a large group activity and/or game.  Typically the first Wednesday of the month, the youth lead a worship night.

Following these activities the group breaks into Jr High (6-8th) and Sr. High (9-12th).  There is a large group Bible focused lesson in line with the overall theme for the month.  The lessons are geared toward youth culture, which is then followed up with small group discussion to further see how the lesson can be practically applied in their lives.

Regular Events

A strong group of committed adult volunteers help organize and lead regular events throughout the year. These include Retreats,  Service Trips, Game Nights, Youth Led Worship Nights, Summer Hang-outs, a Corn Maze and Hayride, and much more!
