Welcome!
Through age-appropriate teaching, small group discussion, community building, and local and global service – and with the faithful labor of coworkers and the support of caring parents, Youth Group seeks to provide an environment where teenagers in grades 6-12 can discover Jesus and grow in following him.
Friday Night Bible Study
We start at 7:30 p.m. in the youth room with a game, and then have a time of worship through song. After a few announcements, we move into growth groups for study, discussion, sharing, and prayer.
Sunday School
Sunday school starts at 9:00 a.m. in the youth room and intentionally alternates between emphases on hermeneutics (how to read the Bible for yourself), apologetics (how to wrestle with, defend, and winsomely articulate the faith), and biblical theology (the overarching story of Scripture).
Special Events
About every quarter, the youth group has special events including community service, retreats, and parties.
All youth are invited to our Youth Welcome Party to welcome incoming 6th graders on May 30 during Friday Night Bible Study (7:30 pm to 9:00 p.m.)
Join us for sports at Forest Dale Elementary on Tuesdays from 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Join the Discord to stay updated.
In lieu of a short-term mission trip this year, we're offering a Summer Camp from Tuesday, July 29, to Friday, August 1. This day camp will help youth both take the next step in following Jesus and develop their leadership skills. We need a minimum of 10 youth in order to offer this, so please learn more and register before June 15. (There's also a 20% discount prior to June 15. 😉)
