Youth Groups
We have two different Youth Groups; Middle School (6th through 8th grades) and High School. Both meet at the church most Sunday nights during the school year for a time of lessons, games, fellowship, and prayer.
We also participate in different retreats and service projects, and fun get-togethers throughout the year

Our goal is for our Youth Groups to:
Learn (Proverbs 1:7)
Through interactive bible lessons and discussions, but also in everyday life as we spend time together. Specifically, we want our students to learn more about the God of the Scriptures, the gospel of his son Jesus Christ, and the means of grace that Christ’s followers use to have a relationship with him.
Share (1 John 1:7)
The “one-anothering” of Christ’s church is unlike any other fellowship in this life. Our goal is to see God glorified through meaningful relationships with each other and with others in our church family as we seek to find our place in the Body of Christ. During our youth groups and other activities we use four basic rules in order to do these things: be safe, be respectful, be kind, and be truthful (the definitive version of these rules is in Exodus 20:12-17).
Grow (1 Peter 2:2-3)
It is our desire for the students to grow into a mature worship and witness of the Lord Jesus Christ. Our learning, serving, and sharing should continue to grow to that end. We especially want our students to develop the spiritual disciplines that will prepare them not only to live for Christ as students now, but also for a life-time of service to Jesus and his Kingdom.
Serve (Galatians 5:13)
Jesus calls us to be his hands and feet and to love our neighbors. We regularly schedule events throughout the year where students serve their church and community. Working together to help others is one of the best ways our students will learn, share, and grow in Christ.

Junior High Youth Group
Led by Zeta Turner and assisted by a number of other volunteers, the Junior High Youth Group meets Sunday’s at the church, from 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. (except on the last Sunday of the month), September through May. It is a time of fun, fellowship and study of God’s Word. In addition, this group also holds social events and service projects.
In addition to our Sunday Evening Conversations, our high school youth program consists of:
- An annual winter Retreat along with other like-minded congregations
- Summer camp
- Periodic social events throughout the year
Senior High Youth Group
Our Senior High Youth Group also meets at the church on Sunday evenings from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. (except on the first Sunday of the month), September through May. These meetings are known as our Sunday Conversations, which include worship, study and small-group discussion. Our dual focus is: the spiritual formation of our students by focusing on Jesus and His word and that youth group would be a place where students can ask honest questions and find compassionate answers. Everyone is welcome.
In addition to our Sunday Evening Conversations, our high school youth program consists of:
