What we do
Youth Group Meetings
We gather for weekly youth group on Sunday evenings from 6:00-7:30
p.m. At a typical meeting, we gather for a time of informal fellowship,
we play games (sometimes typical sports games, sometimes games with
a "twist," and sometimes funky games altogether different from the
norm), we pray together, and we study the Scriptures, understanding
them in their original context before applying them to our everyday
lives.
Bible Study
We encourage all of our students to read the Bible by themselves or
with their families every day, since one of Scripture's purposes is
their personal growth. Another of its purposes is the corporate growth
of believers, and so we emphasize small group Bible studies which
meet during the week. We understand schedules fill up quickly, but
often the greatest spiritual growth seems to occur in the context
of a small group of believers who feel intimate enough to share personal
struggles, to ask challenging questions, to pray for one another,
and to engage in a more detailed study of God's Word.
Retreats
We offer weekend retreats twice a school year for each group, where
students can come apart from their everyday world together, in an
informal setting, in order to continue their growth in the Lord (or
to begin a relationship with Him if they have not yet done so). Times
and locations for the fall and spring retreats are on the Events
page. During the summer, the youth ministry is expanded with trips
to the beach and to amusement parks, combined with pool parties and
other informal outings (lunches with Dana, putt-putt, lunches with
Dana, more lunches with Dana, and the like).
