OUR APPROACH

FAITH FORMATION


We believe all youth deserve a relationship with Jesus Christ and can use God’s guidance to navigate life's challenges. We gather on Sunday mornings in the Youth Bible Study room (Room 207) to dive deep into scripture and our devotional time during Wednesday Night Live! Is designed to help youth understand how to apply those same scriptures.

FELLOWSHIP


Every time we gather, we place an emphasis on growing together. Whether through icebreakers, games, or simply hanging out in the Youth and Activities Building (YAB) we value the opportunity to be a family of faith together.

FUN


Part of what draws us to each other is making memories together. These may take place on a trip (such as to Six Flags or the Atlanta Braves game), on a retreat, serving in local mission projects, at PASSPORT Camp or on a domestic or international mission trip. We also gather weekly on Sunday Nights for game nights, open gyms, and other recreational opportunities to have fun together.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT


Youth have immense potential to lead in the church. We provide opportunities for 8th-12th graders, who have been active for at least a year, to join our Youth Council, a group of self-selected leaders that offer feedback and set goals for our youth family.
