Youth Ministry
We are looking forward to coming together to worship God and to spend time in His Word. We hope you join us as we look to grow, learn and have fun together.
All youth are welcome.
We desire the next generation to be:
KNOWING (Knowing Christ) we disciple the next generation to know Christ as supremely glorious. Christ, as the second person of the Trinity, He has existed for all eternity. He is the creator of the world and was born of the virgin Mary. Christ led a sinless life and served as our substitute, offering himself as a sacrifice to reconcile us with God the Father. After his death, he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, ascending to heaven. Currently, Christ is seated at the right hand of the throne of God and will return to establish his eternal reign.
APPLYING (Scripture Centered) we establish the next generation in the foundation of God’s Word for life and godliness. Our desire is to delve into God’s revelation of Himself as described in His written Word and to help the youth see and understand Scripture’s relevance to our daily life. We desire to see the youth come to know the Lord and to submit to the lordship of Christ in every area of their lives. The central focus of all youth fellowship times will be around God’s Word through either direct study of Scriptures, or solid extrabiblical content that is an exegetical exposition on Scripture.
PROCLAIMING (Mission-Minded) we equip the next generation to join God’s mission of glorifying His name by making disciples of all nations. We desire to see the youth come to know the Lord, to submit under His lordship, and to be unashamed to proclaim the good news of the gospel in their context – school, work, etc.
Books that we studied with our youth:
- Kevin DeYoung "Taking God at His Word" (2021)
- John MacArthur "None Other" (2022)
- John MacArthur "Good News" (2022)
- Stephen J. Nichols "Why We Trust The Bible" (2023)
- R.C. Sproul "Five Things Every Christian Needs to Grow" (2023)
