YOUTH SUNDAYS

SUNDAY SCHOOL
9:45 a.m.

Our youth Sunday School is a solid home-base for a holistic approach to the entire Bible. No matter what topical studies we may be doing on Sunday or Wednesday evenings, Sunday School is an on-going, chronological, Genesis-through-Revelation study of God's Word on a three-year rotation using LifeWay's The Gospel Project for Students. It's an engaging, learner-based staple in our youth ministry. The youth meet for Sunday School weekly in Lower Level Room 4 (next to the Elevator).
What We Teach
The Gospel Project: Chronological 
The Gospel Project: Chronological is a three-year journey through Scripture. Students chronologically examine all Scripture (Genesis - Revelation) through a Christ-centered lens.

  • 99 Essential Christian Doctrines: Highlights essential doctrines of the Christian faith every student needs to know.
  • Christ Connection: Each session shows students how all Scripture points to Christ.
  • Apologetics: Students will not only understand what they believe, but why.
  • Head, Heart, Hands: Helps students to see how the gospel transforms the way they think, feel, and live every day.
  • Interactive Questions: Engages students to think through the session material and how it challenges them today.

YOUTH GROUP
5:00-7:00 p.m.

Our youth and their guests enjoy some hang-out time with outdoor games (weather-permitting) immediately following youth handbell rehearsal (which starts at 4:00).  This is followed by a full meal provided by parents or other various church members showing their loving support. Following dinner, we enjoy some icebreaker games, worship (sometimes singing, sometimes other creative forms of worship), and a relevant Bible lesson. All of our Bible lesson series are carefully selected by our Youth Leadership Team, staff, parents, volunteers, and student representatives at our annual Planning Retreat.  We also have special events on some Sunday nights, so those are peppered in among the regular youth nights.  Keep scrolling to find this year's line-up.
