Youth Group

WHY Youth Group MATTERS

Youth Group meets on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month during the 11am service. All youth will join corporate worship in the sanctuary then head to the Youth Room for our video/discussion, prayer, and communion. Snacks will always be provided! 


The pre-teen and teen years are some of the toughest years of our lives. That was true a generation ago and things are much harder nowadays. Kids are growing up faster than ever. And the culture is constantly bombarding them with messages that steer them away from Christian beliefs and values. That’s why a church’s youth ministry is so critical.


Our goal with the Youth Group (6th thru 12th grade) is to help kids move beyond being Christians by default (because they were born in a Christian home) to owning their faith and living it out in a way that makes an impact in middle school and high school. And in the process, we aim to prepare them to thrive spiritually in their college years.

LIFE-CHANGING CURRICULUM

Back by popular demand! Our Youth Group (for 6th to 12th graders) is once again going through the  "Alpha Youth Series" which is curriculum used by churches around the world (literally!)  Through 13 sessions filmed in Vancouver, London, Paris, Rome, Israel, and more, the Alpha Youth Series explores timeless questions about life, faith and God for a new generation.The series offers compelling stories, images, questions, and discussion topics well spread throughout each episode to better engage youth, helping them think about how these issues relate to their lives as they discuss with their friends and leaders.



BEYOND SUNDAYS

Over the past several months, our Teens have put their faith in action by volunteering at Friends of Foster Kids on a couple Saturdays and assembling and delivering Thanksgiving baskets full of food to “help those who need help” in Shelby Township. Plus, we had a “just for fun” event at Cedar Point and Yates Cider Mill. And in the months to come we are planning game nights, movie nights, additional serving opportunities, and more!
