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...
March: Though the month is almost over, the wealth of knowledge that we can gain is still far from over. The story of Jonah is one that most (if not all) of us know by heart, but there is still so much to learn from even the most familiar of stories. As we welcome the Springtime, let's also look anew at the story of Jonah and the whale to gain new insights.
April: Easter is right around the corner! Another familiar event in a Christian's life, and another familiar story, that some details may be missed or overlooked. The impact of the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross has been felt for a multitude of generations; but what about the details? In the theme of taking a second look, we'll be taking a second look at the all-too-familiar Easter story, uncovering new details and meanings behind the greatest love story in human history.
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.

Summer Escape Room
During the Summer, the youth learned about what makes us unique, and how we each contribute something to the body of Christ. To reiterate our strenghts, we explored an escape room in Downtown Greenville via Breakout Games. Here are a few photos taken from that day.
