PROGRAMS
Sunday School
Regular classes focus on the basics of the Christian faith and how that faith helps us navigate the challenges of this world. The Sunday School curriculum acts as an anchor point for the Biblical teachings that occur through both middle and high school youth group meetings.
Middle School
Youth Group
These regularly scheduled meetings are geared to middle school-aged students. The focus is developing a stronger relationship with God, self, and community. Activities are meant to further study Scripture and Biblical teachings, while providing fun and togetherness. The goal is to build relationships that are strong and can withstand the challenges that arrive through the middle school years.
High School
Youth Group
These regularly scheduled meetings are for high school-aged students only. The focus is examining God’s teachings about going out into the world to make a positive impact. Ideally, we are equipping young people to go out into the world and thrive as young adults. Activities are meant to educate young people about the intersection of Christian faith and community (note that community means friends, family, fellow church members, classmates, etc.). Team-building and fun are also crucial to this program. Each meeting will also have time set aside for current events. These current events may take precedence over the planned activities if they have greater immediate connection with the students.
Confirmation
This program emphasizes the missional aspect of the church and intergenerational mentorships for our youth.
We hope to have extra monthly opportunities for youth to engage in. Some examples of these: serve dinner at homeless shelter, help Diaper Depot, build community gardens, visit a museum, attend a baseball game, etc.
i 1seventeen
i1seventeen works to provide educational opportunities for all people within our community. They often host book studies on topics such as faith, disability, awareness, and the refugee experience. All ages, including youth and teens, are welcome to join in learning experiences.
