Socialization
Through the work and efforts of our Youth Leaders, our ministry students gather on Sunday nights from 6-8 pm, for organized activities, a "family" meal, and great conversation. We use relevant topics in the news to open communication with each other and our guest speakers are entertaining and educational.
Service
We work to serve others in the name of God. Our holiday visits to the homebound have been rewarding to all. The students also enjoy participating in the Easter Egg Hunt for the kids. We have collected donations for Children's Specialized Hospital and added to bags for the homeless. The water booth and pie bakes have been an annual favorite.
Spiritualization
Prior to each Sunday meal, the prayers of each member are shared aloud and prayed by all. We promote Faith by encouraging all to attend and experience the Word of God as a family unit. Each member is also able to participate in a weekend retreat with peers.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________Our Leadership Team
Our leadership team consists of local high school students who meet weekly and are supported by our adult team members. Leaders work hard to make all students feel welcome. As teens themselves, they are in touch with the needs of our local teens. With guidance from our adult team, they are able to build a program that is relevant and safe for our youth. They use their leadership skills to facilitate group discussions, presentations, and organization of meetings and service projects. They are a faithful role model to their peers.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________Retreat Weekend
Each year our retreat team of high school students hosts a weekend to explore our faith in a deeper more meaningful way. Through prayer, skits, games and talks, the leaders demonstrate their love and faith in God while creating and enhancing relationships with God and peers.
