Middle School and High School Ministries here at Christ Church are designed to help equip youth to live on purpose for Jesus Christ, so they might have the opportunity to know, grow, serve, share, and worship Christ. We are committed to building the most real and life-changing teen ministry possible, combining a solid foundation of prayer and Bible-based principles, adults who really care about teenagers, fun, food, and on-fire friends to create a ministry that we hope brings glory to God and a smile to youth’s faces.

 

Primetime MS Ministry

Throughout the School year (September-May) we invite youth in grades 6 to 8 to join us on Wednesday nights from 6:30 to 7:55 PM at Christ Church. It is a night designed to help us grow as individuals and as a group. Our small groups help you connect and discover how God is working in your life today. We also have large group times of music, worship, games, team competitions, dramas and challenging messages. If there is anything we can do to help you get connected, give us a call.

Super Summer Serve is a dynamic Middle School (6th-8th) program designed to give kids a chance to have fun, learn and grow while being the hands and feet of Jesus in our community and beyond.  It happens on Wednesday’s from June 11th-July 23rd. SSS is led by High School student leaders who are excellent role models. 

High School Student Leaders for Super Summer Serve –Do you have a desire to make a difference and be a positive role model for younger students and have a blast doing it? Want to grow in your faith and develop leadership skills, all while building a strong and attractive resume for colleges, NHS, and scholarships?   We provide you with the training, support and a co-leader to help you lead a small group of Middle School students in Bible Study, games and service projects.

Super Summer Serve Drivers/adult helpers – SSS is an incredible ministry to our community and a great leadership opportunity for our students. We are always in need of drivers/adult helpers to make this life-changing Middle School ministry possible. Whether you can help only one Wednesday or all of them – we need you!

Grounded HS Ministry

Throughout the School year (September-May) we want high school youth to get Grounded! Grounded does just what it sounds like – helps to keep us grounded in God’s Word, and take steps to grow in our faith.  It is primarily a small group ministry but we also gather for large group activities at least once per month. Small Groups meet on Wednesdays at 8-9:30 PM. We are all about building deeper relationships with Jesus and each other while digging deeper into God’s Word to discover its relevance to our lives today.

Summer High School Mission Trip

Every summer we have a High School mission trip where we take youth and adults to areas of great need to be the hands and feet of Jesus, and to grow as disciples.

This summer we are going to North Carolina to bring hope, love and help in Jesus’ name to a county in the Appalachian Mountains that is plagued by poverty and was devastated by the floods caused by Hurricane Helene.

Confirmation of Faith

Choosing to follow Christ is the most important commitment anyone can make. While that commitment is between each individual and God, confirmation is meant to be a public profession of this commitment. Our Youth Ministry is designed to help youth discover this personal relationship with Jesus and grow as fully devoted followers of Jesus. Through the confirmation experience, students take ownership for their faith and reaffirm their commitment to a lifelong journey as a follower of Jesus.

A Confirmation Service happens in the Fall for students in 9th grade and above who are ready to make that commitment.

Coming Along Side Parents

Parents are the primary faith trainers for their children. In reality, faith is caught in addition to being taught. A lifelong, mature faith in Christ is difficult to develop in 90 minutes once a week, if that faith is not being reinforced and modeled in the home the other 10,020 minutes of the week. Our youth ministry seeks to help parents in their role as the primary faith trainers in their home. We encourage parental involvement and want parents to know what is happening in our youth ministry.

We'd love to meet you!

Whatever your faith background, we invite you to come and join us as we experience God’s love and grow in our faith together.
