Teens
Youth Group
Every Wednesday night at 6:45 PM, the teen wing comes to life with awesome games, dynamic teaching, and time to just chill out in the High Five Cafe. A typical Wednesday night starts out with group games or free time followed by singing praises to the Lord and teaching from God’s Word. The night ends with the teens breaking up into smaller discipleship groups to discuss the lesson and share prayer requests. There is an emphasis placed on spiritual growth by encouraging the teens to have daily devotions, memorize Scripture, and use their talents to serve in our church.
We also have various activities throughout the year to encourage fellowship among the youth group, offer evangelistic events for the teens to invite friends, and provide opportunities for the youth leaders to get to know the teens on a more personal level. Our biggest evangelistic outreach is the all-nighter that occurs each November. It is a full night of games, prizes, pizza, and various venues that could include ice skating, broom hockey, laser tag, bowling, and/or a trampoline park. A clear explanation of the Gospel is presented, giving teens an opportunity to accept Christ as his/her Savior.
