Youth Group – Sunday evenings 6:00-8:00pm
This group is open to high schoolers and middle schoolers alike. We have a team of 4-5 adults who help to run things, generate discussion, keep things focused, and deliver insight. We tend to use most of 308 Main Street throughout the evening.

Our two hour meeting time consists of a variety of games to kick off and get everyone settled in. Afterward we do a more thought-provoking activity that requires more depth and time, the underlying theme of which relates to the overall theme of the evening. Finally we drive into scripture-based discussion often breaking up into groups by age so deeper conversation can take place.
Service Team – One Sat a Month
We will gather high school and middle school youth together to engage in mission activities within the local community and surrounding area. We seek to give our youth the chance to act as the hands of the Christ for a world in need, and to allow them to see the great things they can accomplish in His name.
Voices in Praise – Sundays 5:00-6:00pm
This is a musical praise team comprised of church youth, currently lead by DianaFay Moore, and Bev Lipp. We have combined vocalists and instrumentalists to create a unique sound designed to serve the church in worship as well as in other fellowship opportunities.
Pancakes and Jesus – Wednesday mornings 6:45-7:15am
This group is open to high schoolers. Breakfast will be cooked and served at the youth director’s residence by a few of our adult volunteers and a small Bible study and devotion will be held. The goal is to get some fellowship time in the middle of the week and help to refocus our youth.
High School Bible Study – Upcoming
This group is a scriptural-based study and discussion group designed to push our older youth’s knowledge of the Bible and their faith. We encourage and help them to develop a more personal ownership of their faith and give them the tools and ability to discuss it openly.
Middle School Bible Study – Upcoming
A group focused on helping middle schoolers increase their understanding of scripture in a way that shows the relevance of the word to modern day life. We will focus on popular Biblical stories , and the nature and motivation of the subjects of these stories and how their actions reflect our own.
