Why Youth Group??
Junior high students need a safe place where they can
make sense of the changes that are taking place in their
lives and in the world around them. Our junior high ministry
brings students together with adults who survived junior
high and now want to walk with students through this exciting
and sometimes awkward stage of life. Our meetings aim to
help students deepen their walk with God by exploring what
the Bible has to say about things like relating to others (parents,
friends, the opposite sex!), facing challenges in life, and finding
their place in the world. We do this by reading the Bible,
acting out real life scenarios, having small group discussions,
and discovering practical ways to apply what we learn.
Our junior high kids really like to have fun. We often play active
games like dodgeball and kickball and share exciting stories
about what is going on in life. Our fall and spring retreats have
taken us to Lake Geneva and the Grand Bear Resort for some
fun and learning away from home. Other favorite activities
include ice skating and bowling. In the summer we
like to hold fun social activities, including
mini golf, swimming, and other great
outdoor activities. If you’re looking
for a fun place to hang out with
some great junior high kids,
stop in and see us.
