Grades 9th through 12th
Looking for a safe place to hang out and meet great people? Regardless of interests, abilities, or background, we welcome all with open arms. Because we are all created in the image of God and exist as God’s children, we strive to act as a family through faith, fellowship, worship, and service together.
We learn... Through all of our activities, we listen about and discuss tough theological issues, current events, difficult topics high school students deal with daily, and other faith traditions.
We serve... Service and missions are at the heart of our family of faith. We serve locally through our annual "rake and run", and assisting at Loaves and Fishes, and serving meals at Allied Churches shelter. We also serve nationally and internationally with programs and organizations that assist with urban ministry, housing and construction. These opportunities not only provide the chance to serve others in the world but create valuable experiences and memories on which our relationships continue to build.
We worship... Sunday morning worship services are only one way we come together to worship God. We also sing together at Youth Group on Sunday night, work together to present the Christmas Narrative with our Live Nativity, and share in “Dough Devotions” at Biscuitville on Tuesday mornings. Each opportunity we have to be together is a chance to worship God, whether we are in a sanctuary, at the lake, hiking in the mountains, or sharing a meal.
We fellowship... Whether we are chopping each other in half in the ninja game, staring each other down with eye contact, throwing turkeys at the bowling alley, flying down a slope on a snowboard, or taking time to just sit and “be” with one another, fun is had by all. There is something for everyone to participate in and there is only one rule: full participation. Whether the activity is your strength or not, we encourage everyone to try, because you just never know what God may do with your effort.
We travel... Traveling is not just about going away. Our group travels to places like Montreat, North Carolina (every year to the Montreat Youth Conference), Denver, Colorado, the beach, Kentucky, Alaska, Mexico, and Peru, but we also travel in our journey with Christ together. We recognize that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link; therefore, we are committed to walking together in our faith journeys, keeping each other accountable, and praying for one another.
