What is youth group? An opportunity for teenagers in grades 8 - 12 to come together in a relaxed atmosphere and deepen their faith.
Is it the same as CCD? Not at all. CCD is classroom-based and heavily focused on education. In youth group, there are no classrooms, textbooks, or homework. While learning is part of the picture, youth group also includes a mix of social time, prayer, recreational outings, and/or service projects.
Life is SO busy! Why should we make the time to go to youth group? It’s more than worth it! Youth group is where faith intersects with real life. You will learn things about life, about God, about faith, and about making good decisions. What you get from youth group will benefit you for the rest of your lives! Plus, it’s a great place to make friends! Besides that, youth group does not take up a lot of time. We usually only meet about twice a month.
What if we can’t be there all the time? No worries! We don’t take attendance and mark people absent. Just come whenever you can!
What if we’re on the fence about youth group? Then come to a few events to see if it’s for you. Youth group is one of those things that you really can’t make an informed decision about until you experience it for yourself. Just give it a try! You have nothing to lose, but everything to gain!
