Youth Ministry

Youth Group

Youth group has taken a change of pace for the summer. Middle and high school students, join us Thursday nights starting June 27th for hangouts and food. Each Thursday we’ll meet at the church and head somewhere new. Laser tagging, out to eat, discussions, we’ll be all over. For more information call the church at 330-339-6411.

If you are a high school student and have not plugged into our mentor program, it’s not too late! This is a great way to further your relationship with Christ, with an adult friend who can relate with many situations you may face along the way.

Reach Workcamp

Every year our Youth Group and several adult volunteers participate in a large mission
opportunity through Reach Workcamps. Over five hundred students and adults will come together in Russelville, KY to rebuild and repair homes. We are going to care for others and show the love of Christ to people in Kentucky on June 16th.

Each student and leader has selected verses they will keep with them through the week to help spur them towards Christ and loving others. We would love if you would use the Scriptures we picked to pray for us, our co-campers, the residents of Kentucky, and the Reach staff throughout the week.

They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
