Youth

Ministry

Our Youth Ministry exists to equip students to hear God’s call to ministry, to reach out to unbelieving students, and to bring them into a community that praises God’s Holy name. With a focus on junior high and senior high school students, participants in this ministry help teach classes, chaperone events, or host devotionals in their home.

Teen classes meet in the Upper Room (Rm 324)

Our teen classes are designed to help students build a confident, thoughtful faith in a world full of questions.  Together, we explore foundational topics like where the Bible comes from and why we can trust it, while also learning how to apply its teachings in everyday life.  Through discussion, reflection, and real-life examples, teens are encouraged to see how their unique gifts and future vocations can be part of God's greater calling for them.  These classes create a space where students can grow spiritually, ask honest questions, and discover what it means to follow Christ with purpose.

Teens have the opportunity to serve in the congregation:
  • They volunteer in the attended nursery for children ages 2 and under during our Sunday morning assembly, as well as our Children's worship classes for children over 2 - Kindergarten.
  • They participate in our worship service through scripture reading, serving communion, and prayer.
  • They act as counselors and activity leaders during our annual Bible Camp and other children's events.

We also host events and community service projects for our teens every year.  We take every opportunity to fellowship with one another, learn about Jesus, serve our community, and provide a safe and fun place for teens to grow their faith.

Join us for...

Winterfest

Winterfest is an annual gathering in Gatlinburg, TN full of fun, fellowship, and connecting more deeply with Christ.  Each year we spend a weekend learning from the amazing speakers and workshops put on at Winterfest, while creating community amongst our teens.  Throw in a charter bus and you have the makings for some core memories and treasured friendships that will last a lifetime!

Senior Sunday

Every class of Seniors is important to our congregation, so we dedicate a service to honoring their journeys and accomplishments as they head off to college or work after high school.  Parents have the opportunity to reflect on their Senior and all the things that make them special, followed by a time of prayer for the future and well wishes from the congregation.  Then we eat cake!

Harvest Weekend

Each year we come together to support our community members in need with a bountiful Thanksgiving meal. Teens participate in this by assembling meal kits for distribution and running games and activities for the carnival on Harvest Sunday. The carnival has everything from bounce houses for the kids to yard games for the adults!

Project Z

Inspired by the bold faith of Zelophehad's daughters in Numbers 27, girls ages 10-18 are invited to discover their God-given voice and purpose at this monthly devotional.  When faced with uncertainty, these young women courageously stood before Moses and trusted God's justice.  Through scripture, girls are encouraged to speak up with confidence, seek God's wisdom, and trust that He sees, values, and equips them.
