Youth Group

Base Camp Youth Group

Equipping STUDENTS to love God and love others . . .

A stellar team of leaders brings their creativity and genuine love for youth—middle school and high school students—to weekly Youth Meetings, and are committed to building long-term spiritually based relationships in small group personal setting.

 

Our Youth Ministry welcomes any young person, whether they be from another church, are non-Christian, or are a friend from school. 

 

We encourage young people to ask questions, explore their faith and make it their own rather than simply a family tradition. We strive to make Youth Meetings relevant to their lives, engaging, and fun. We create an emotionally safe atmosphere where individuals are respected, listened to, and taken seriously. Our leaders are glad to engage in one-on-one mentoring, discipleship, and simply to simply to be a sounding board. They also share their own lives and hearts as they seek to connect with the students.

 

During the school year our ongoing programming includes a Sunday Morning Youth Bible Study (SMYBS) and a Youth Group meeting. Both are open to Middle and High School Students (grades 6-12). SMYBS meets Sunday mornings from 9am to 10am in the Youth Room (Room 9). It has a more intellectual, studious focus as students dig into biblical truths. Youth Group meets Sunday evenings from 6:30pm to 8:30pm also in the Youth Room. Youth Group consists of snacks, hang-out time, a Bible lesson, small groups, and games.

The Youth Ministry also offers monthly one-off events to give students an opportunity to grow closer, investigate different avenues of service, and have fun together.
