About the Materials
The current Youth program is from the Ministry to Youth company, owned and operated by a husband-and-wife duo who were youth leaders for 15 years (www.ministrytoyouth.com). The curriculum is updated yearly and aims to connect today's youth to principles drawn from God's Word. These lessons incorporate fun games, interactive lessons, and even group events to establish the foundations of a solid relationship with God.
Youth Projects
During the summer, our Youth work to help serve the community and members at the church. This summer is no different - except the projects are closer to home. This Summer '22, the Youth are working in and around the church, helping to update the Children's Ministry, including: facilities, cleaning, and organizing. Check back here for pictures and updates to the work they will be doing!
Looking Ahead...
September/October: The letters of Paul to the surrounding churches are staples to the Christian faith. These letters outline the pillars of being part of the community, and sharing your faith with a world that doesn't quite understand the love and sacrifice of Jesus. During these months, we'll be looking at Ephesians, the letter written to the church at Ephesus, and its impact that is carrying on even today.

November: Weights help us train our muscles through resistance. However, certain weights (emotional and spiritual) can instead limit us and our potential. In this short series, we will explore what "weights" are holding us back from achieving the potential that God has for us.
​
December: No other person can claim that their birth changed the world in an instant. None, that is, other than Jesus. Through this exploratory series on the Christmas Story, we will discuss how the birth of one individual still ripples throughout history today.
Past lessons
All November, the group has been examining the challenges of being a follower of Christ through the lens and context of TikTok - a social media app that allows users to post short video clips. Throughout the series, videos have been watched, made, and laughed at, all while examining what it means to "be viral" and "be different" as compared to our fellow classmates and coworkers. Below is two videos made throughout this lesson series, so you too can laugh and enjoy our hard work.
