High School (Grades 9-12)
Our purpose is to grow teenagers in their faith in Christ so that they can reach the world with His love and gospel. This year we are focusing on our identity in Christ and what difference it makes in our lives everyday. We do that in a number of different ways. Here are the things we do on a regular basis.
Sunday Morning – 10:45 am in room 203
Sundays we meet to study God’s word and provide opportunities for spiritual accountability and growth. This year they will be doing a study of Comparative Religions and completing the year with a book study of Lee Stroebel’s “A Case for Christ.”
Youth Group Wednesday Night 7:00-8:15 pm
Wednesday night we get together as a youth group to have great discussions about current hot topics and figure out what the Bible says about the things that are happening around us. On the 4th Wednesday of the month, we are taking the Youth Group on the road. Check out the calendar to find out where we will be that month.
GEO (Girls/Guys Evening Out)
Girls and guys meet separately once a month on Sun- day right after church for lunch. The purpose of GEO is to give teens a chance to talk about important top- ics like dating, and sex and relationships in a safe, gender specific environment. Each issue we talk about is related back to the Bible and what God instructs us to do.
Special Events and Service Opportunities
About once a month, we open the gym up for a teen sport night. Throughout the year, we have many events for the teens, like a Lock-In, Sno Glo Weekend and the Spring Retreat. Several times a year we will be making bag lunches and distributing them to the homeless in Philadelphia. We pray for and look for ways to serve various missionaries. We also provide an opportunity for each teen to connect with an adult in the church as a prayer partner.
