Overview of fall ministry this year and how to stay updated
// September 16th, 2009 // Youth News
Today we’re excited to be into the first week of our regular fall schedule for this year! Here’s an overview of what’s going on each week with our youth group.
Sr. High Cafe: Sundays at 9:45 AM for 9th-12th graders.
Every Sunday morning Sr. High students enjoy a light breakfast together as they discuss life and God’s Word. Sometimes the group launches into two groups of 9th-10th graders and 11th-12th graders, sometimes everyone is together.
YouthBytes: Sundays at 9:45 AM for 7th-8th graders
Jr. High Sunday School is designed to be a fun time of personal interaction with both scripture and adult leaders. There’s games, teaching, fun videos, and round-table discussions with other jr. highers. We spend two weeks on a topic before moving on to the next. Our youth pastor, Tim Schmoyer, teaches this class and is joined by many other great adults who love jr. high students. Meet us in room #130A.
Sunday School at 9:45 AM for 6th graders
You will never see this much energy and excitement combined in one room anywhere else! The 6th graders play games and do activities together that illustrate the truths of scripture in tangible and memorable ways. Once 6th graders join this class, it becomes the highlight of their week because God’s Word becomes ingrained in their hearts through their fearless leader, Todd Vinjie, in room #131.
Impact: Sundays at 7:00 PM for 9th-12th graders
Impact is our large-group gathering for high school students. It takes place every Sunday night at church and characterized by fun group games, worship, in-depth Bible study teaching by our youth pastor, Tim Schmoyer, and discussion groups. If you’re in high school and want to be challenged in your understanding of the Word and your personal relationship with Christ, you won’t want to miss Impact meetings. It’s where you can be spiritually impacted so you can go and make an impact for Him.
C-Groups: 6:30 PM at various locations for 9th-12th graders
Throughout the week there are several small group experiences for high school students. These groups meet in homes around Alexandria where they enjoy dinner together, share life stories and interact with God’s Word. It’s a great way to be challenged in your walk with Christ on a regular basis with others who are often going through the same journey in life.
Mondays meet at a the Hurlbut’s house and the Wednesday C-Groups meet at the Giroux’s house and the Jody Carlson’s house.
The Journey: 6:30 PM at church for 7th-8th graders
Our discipleship/confirmation class for jr. highers covers the entire Bible in two years. They spend one year going through the New Testament and another year going through the Old Testament so that, by the time they enter high school, they have a general understanding of the entire Bible. Our time together starts in the gym with large-group games and fun before launching into many small groups around the church led by the most incredible team of adult youth workers.
