Children and Youth

Children are one of the church’s greatest resources. Jesus Himself calls us to bring the children to Him, which is our goal in all of our youth ministry. Sunday School is a great place for kids to get to know each other and to get to know their God and Savior with Christ at the center.

But that’s just the beginning: we have several youth ministries that we love and welcome all children to join:

Cavaliers – The Cavaliers is our boys club for ages 7 and up. Our slogan is, ‘Great stuff you can’t get anywhere outside of Christ,’ and that sums up our goals and mindset for each meeting (third Fridays from September to May). The boys have a fun and exciting time together at the church and see that this is where they belong. You will not find a better group of counselors anywhere. Most of the older boys love Cavaliers so much that they stay on as junior counselors so they can help guide the younger boys.

Tulips – TULIPS is a girls club for ages 5-12 that meets the third Fridays of each month from September through May. Girls older than 12 are encouraged to take up leadership roles during the meetings. During a typical meeting we play games, have a Bible lesson, memorize scripture, work on projects, and end with a snack. Examples of projects in the past have been: quilting, jewelry making, planting flowers around the church, and making fleece tie blankets for new babies and those who are sick. We generally look upon our projects as times to serve others. The goal of TULIPS is for the older women to teach the younger women what it means to be Christian woman (Titus 2).

Youth Group – The purpose of the Youth Group is to study God’s Word together while building strong Christian relationships for the junior through senior high youth. As they go through this very important time in their lives they will be exposed to differing worldviews, significant temptations, and challenges to their faith. Youth Group gives them an opportunity for prayer, sound teaching, and fellowship of like-minded peers. There are lots of fun activities from scavenger hunts to game nights, as well as service projects.

Secret Pals – Secret Pals matches up girls with adult women to correspond one-on-one by sending notes and letters throughout the year. Encouragement and prayer is the focus of this ministry. The “Pals” are revealed at year-end.

Vacation Bible School – Vacation Bible School is a week-long program in the summer with gospel teaching, music, drama, crafts, games, fun, and fellowship.
