Youth Ministry
A place to flourish...
Our youth ministry is for students in 6th through 12th grade. This ministry aims to form Christ-centered, gospel-focused disciples of Jesus Christ, equipped to evangelize and make disciples themselves. This will be accomplished primarily through the expositional teaching of God’s sufficient and inerrant Word while building relationships in a multi-generational, gospel-based community. There are unique spiritual and emotional challenges to these pivotal years in one’s life, and we seek to answer the tough questions, work through the tough seasons, and grow in love for God and neighbor together.

What We Do
sunday life group
Every Sunday at 10:30 am (after worship service), we gather at the LOFT on the third floor of Old National Bank, just across the street from our church building. You can enter via the double doors on N Court St.
wednesday nights
We also gather every Wednesday night at the LOFT. Free food is served at most gatherings beginning at 5:30 pm. Bible study then takes place from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
special events
Various events are held throughout the year for the youth, including retreats, game nights, bowling, special dinners, outreach events, and more. In the future, we pray that older youth may have opportunities to serve the Lord through short-term domestic and international mission trips.
Important Info
current studies
In Sunday Life Group, all youth are working through the book of Luke and given practical guidance on how to apply it to their lives.
On Wednesday nights, youth are split up into middle school and high school age groups for Bible study. The middle schoolers are currently working through a brief lesson excursis on Christian apologetics (Spring ’25), though typically we work through specific books of the Bible. The high schoolers take a more topical approach.
This summer (2025), Sunday Life Group will continue in the same manner, while all youth will combine together on Wednesday nights for a series on biblical sexuality.
Bus Information
If you would like your 6th to 12th grader to be bussed to the church for our Wednesday Night gatherings, please complete this permission form. This is only offered on Wednesday nights unless otherwise announced. Transportation to and from church on Sundays is a hopeful future prospect at the moment and depends on interest.
