Teen Ministry

Designed to shape and mold the entire life of Christian young people in the seventh through twelfth
grades. Our aim is to encourage teenagers to fulfill their God-given potential and to reach the unsaved
youth in our city whose hearts are longing for what only Christ can give.

  • Teen Sunday School is a special training time for our youth in which life-changing principles are
    taught from the Bible. Our caring teachers challenge the students to apply God’s Word to their
    daily lives.

  • Teen Challenge is a youth-oriented meeting that takes place every Wednesday evening at 7:00.
    Our youth pastor addresses issues that are pertinent in the young person’s life such as
    Christian dating, music, prayer, Christian living, and many other Biblical topics.

  • Teenanalysis is a scoring system that challenges teens to have daily devotions, read Christian
    books, attend teen outreach, and participate in some form of practical Christian service including
    nursing home visits, children’s church, bus ministry, etc. The teens fill out a point sheet each
    week based on these and other areas of Christian life and service. Those who achieve the
    highest scores are eligible for a special annual Teenanalysis trip in the summer.

  • Teen Outreach is an evangelistic ministry designed to train our youth to win others to Christ. We
    meet each Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 for a short time of prayer before going out into our
    community inviting people to church and sharing with them the love of Christ.

  • Teen Choir  is an excellent opportunity for our youth to sing and worship God through the
    valuable tool of music that is not only Christian, but also built on Biblical principles. It is our
    desire to provide Christ-honoring music within the hearts of our teens as well as cultivate
    Christian character and responsibility within the musicians we train for future service.

  • Teen Activities are exciting events scheduled throughout the year in order to provide our young
    people with Christian fellowship. They usually take place on Fridays and Saturdays and include
    all night lock-ins, paintball, laser tag, bowling, miniature golf, gym nights, ice skating, scavenger
    hunts, banquets, area-wide youth rallies, and many other activities.

  • Teen Nutritional Time is a Monday night Bible study and activity during the summer in which our
    youth are fed the Word of God. This unique training time provides the spiritual food specifically for
    teens that is necessary for daily growth into Christian maturity.

  • Teen Summer Trips include one week of camp, a mission trip, and a Teenanalysis trip to a
    major U.S. city. These trips not only provide our teens with times of fun and enjoyment but also
    with practical training and discipleship for future service.
