"transform today's youth into fully devoted followers
of Jesus Christ."
Youth Ministries
Our Vision
"To look UP (and know Christ), to look IN (and grow in Christ), to look OUT (and share Christ), to GO FORTH (and live Christ)."
IMPAKT Service
The IMPAKT service is a Youth Service, which
occurs on Sunday mornings starting with a coffee house at 8:45 a.m. and a
challenging question to discuss while enjoying fellowship over coffee, tea, hot
chocolate, juice and donuts. The formal part of the service begins about 9:15am,
where a mix of music, drama, or personal stories, prayer, scripture and a
message all blend into an interactive discussion with Pastor Joel. This is
a
time for youth, grades 6-12 to gather and dig a little deeper into God’s word.
It is also a time where we will give our information about what is
going on at EDGE & LOFT and a time to sign up for upcoming events and to
basically just know what is going on.
LOFT
LOFT is our program for High School Students. We have monthly special events, which happen “usually” on Monday evenings. We are also working on developing a small group program so that each High School Student will have an opportunity to be a part of a small group. See the Youth Website for upcoming activities.
EDGE
EDGE is for our Middle School students to gather for a time of fun
and learning about God, which is the top priority. EDGE begins at 6:00 pm (food)
and 6:30 pm program and goes until 8:00 pm every Wednesday Night.
Youth Sunday School
We provide Sunday School classes for all students, grades 6-12
during 11:00am
Small Group Bible Studies
All students are encouraged to be a part of a small group Bible
study designed just for them. Middle School (EDGE) groups meet on Wednesday
evenings during EDGE. High School small groups meet at various times places and
evenings during the week.
Ministry Teams
We have a variety of service/mission-oriented teams called
"Ministry Teams" which all students are challenged and encouraged to
be a part of. They serve to help the youth program and our surrounding
community. These teams include: Music Team, Drama Team, Design Team, Greeting
Team, Sound & Light Team, Snack Shack Team and Video Team!
Camps/Trips and Retreats
We believe in taking kids to places and events that are life
changing! We offer daylong retreats, weekend camping experiences and weeklong
events to accomplish this.
Special Events
During the year we provide and/or put on a variety of incredible
special events. These include parties, trips, concerts, lockouts, sports
outings, fishing excursions and more.
