Youth Ministry - Helping teens navigate life and faith
In today’s busy world, statistics show that teens spend more time in extracurricular involvement and pursuing personal entertainment than ever before. Today’s teens are constantly on the go, pressured to pursue activities at break-neck speed and with adult-level commitment.
Knowing that students are daily pulled back and forth by jobs, sports, rehearsals and other outside commitments and watching teens toss and turn in the sea of peer opinion and societal standards, we strive to reach teens for Christ in multiple different ways.
Youth group meets on Wednesdays, 6:00-7:30 pm, throughout the school year. Each week, we focus on discipleship, Bible study, and/or Christian service.
- 1st Wednesdays - Bible study at the church
- 2nd Wednesdays - Serving at Bulls Run Arboretum in Middletown (varies seasonally)
- 3rd Wednesdays - Serving with women and children at Hope House in Middletown
- 4th Wednesdays - Bible study at the church
- 5th Wednesdays - Game Night sponsored for the whole church family
The Youth group usually does a brief mission experience/trip in the summer.
Gina Craft & Pastor Jeff Motter co-lead the Youth Ministry, along with adult volunteers who have passed Shepherd's background screening.
