Youth Ministries
God has a special love for the
young adults in our community as they enter the most important
decision-making period of their lives, and we hope to enrich their lives
with the knowledge of God's strength, love and encouragement.
Here's what's going on in Youth Ministries
for Fall 2012
Youth Group (grades 6th - 12th)
From 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
each Sunday we come together for dinner, challenging and relevant
discussions and activities, and always games and friends! Youth Group begins
in the Fall.
Bible Study
On Wednesday nights, Junior
and Senior High school students are invited to participate in an in-depth
look at the bible through study and prayer with peers.
Sunday School
Sunday School is offered for
teens in grades 6-8 an grades 9-12 from 10:00 to 10:45 a.m. in the Cottage

Scripture-based Sunday School class led by Martha Myers, Linda Bowman, Liz
Kidd, David Ford, Kori Baker, and Tara McMurdy.

Mission Trips and Retreats
Many times the most helpful thing we can do is to get away to be with
God and to do God’s work in the world. We go on a yearly mission trip and
often do mission-based activities in youth group. We also offer various
retreats based on life-situation, like girls’ retreat and Confirmation
retreats.
