Youth

An important part of faith development is that youth be eventually able to identify with and participate in the wider church body, especially after graduating from children’s ministry. However, barriers to the main worship service often exist in their comfort, knowledge, and sense of relevancy. This Bible study is all about being an “on-ramp” to full participation.  Along with preparing and encouraging them toward the 11 AM service, we will continue to explore their faith more deeply so that their decision is not based on obligation, but is based on a desire to know Jesus.

Who?  Youth who want to deepen their faith (there is no specific age range)

When?  Most Sunday mornings during the 9:00 AM service September-June. If it is not happening on a particular week, regular attenders will be notified and it will be posted on the website.

Where?  Pastor Ryan’s office

What?  Milk and cereal will be provided as we explore God’s Word and dig deeper into our faith. We do not want dietary restrictions to be a barrier, so talk to Pastor Ryan if there is a concern.

Purpose & Objectives

1. Build friendships and community during our Sunday morning gathering
2. Explore what Jesus has to say to us personally so we may live it in our lives
3. Encourage faith development through spiritual practices
4. Provide a launching point from which youth feel comfortable attending the main worship service
