During the school year, our middle school youth group meets on 1st and 3rd Wednesdays, at church, from 6:30-8:00pm, with light snacks provided. We alternate between Bible study and community-building events, giving students the chance to grow in their faith and build strong friendships.
Bible study nights begin with sharing about our weeks and playing a game. Then we’ll dig into our church’s benediction (“No matter who you are or what you’ve done, etc.”) line by line, pairing it with scripture stories and exploring how they connect with students’ lives.
On alternate nights, we’ll switch it up with service projects, game nights, and what we’re calling Experiential Spirituality. Community members share how they live out their faith through things like meditation, exercise, advocacy, art, nature walks, baking, music...who knows what we’ll discover together!
With any questions, please contact our Pastor of Youth, Marta Smith.
