Youth Ministries
God has a special love for the
young adults in our community as they enter the most important
decision-making period of their lives, and we hope to enrich their lives
with the knowledge of God's strength, love and encouragement.
Here's what's going on in Youth Ministries during the fall semester of 2011:
Youth Group (grades 6th - 12th)
From 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
each Sunday we come together for lunch, challenging and relevant discussions
and activities, and always games and friends!
Bible Study
On Wednesday nights, Junior
and Senior High school students are invited to participate in an in-depth
look at the bible through study and prayer with peers.
Sunday School
Sunday School is offered for
teens in grades 6-8 an grades 9-12 from 10:00 to 10:45 a.m. in the Cottage
(the white building at the front of the property) for a life-oriented,
Scripture-based Sunday School class led by Martha Myers, Linda Bowman, Liz
Kidd, and Tara McMurdy.
Youth Leaders
Our Youth Ministry

Mission Trips and Retreats
Many times the most helpful thing we can do is to get away to be with
God and to do God’s work in the world. We go on a yearly mission trip and
often do mission-based activities in youth group. We also offer various
retreats based on life-situation, like girls’ retreat and Confirmation
retreats.
Confirmation Experience for Teens
The sacrament of Confirmation is about growing an active faith in
Christ. We offer classes, retreats, pair teens with mentors and do other
activities to prepare teens to take on their faith as their own. Classes are
offered seasonally.
