Nurturing the faith of our youth

Beyond being a kid friendly church on Sundays, we follow through on our baptismal promises to our youth by helping them grow spiritually, build strong peer relationships, and engage in fun and service. Caring leaders design discussions, activities, service projects, and outings that impact kids’ lives and their walk with God.

Our youth ministry and discipleship programs

Worship Center

K-2nd kids meet downstairs for worship after the children’s message during the Sunday service.

678ers

Our middle school group that meets twice a month for faith exploration and games.

Worship & Wonder

3rd-8th grade youth meet downstairs after the Sunday church service to sing praise songs, ask three “wondering” questions about the sermon, and pray together.

Youth Group

Our high school youth ministry group that meets most Sundays for bible study and fun. The group also participates in a spiritual growth or service trip in the summer.

Kids Club

2nd-6th grade boys and girls meet once or twice a month on Wednesday evenings. Together they explore God and the world through fun activities like rocket launches, campfire starting,  egg drops, and an annual pinewood derby race.

Catechism retreat

Over a weekend together, high schoolers dive deep into topics of faith and important confessional elements of our beliefs.

Faith friends

3rd grade children and older are paired with an adult member of the church. The child’s faith friend regularly checks in on them, prays on their behalf, and is able to provide faith and life mentorship.

Active participation in worship

 

The youth in our church often help lead portions of our worship as well, including scripture readings, choirs and music groups, an annual youth-led service, and a children’s Christmas program.

Christian education support

For parents who wish to enroll their kids in local Christian schools, we provide tuition assistance. All active member families receive a flat amount per child enrolled in K-12 Christian schools. Additional income-based support is also available.
