Be a part of Upryzing Youth Group – a thriving and active youth group that’s touching and transforming many dozens of area teens week by week! Weekly meetings are at 7:00 pm on Wednesday nights.
As our society continues to change, teenagers today face more difficult challenges and choices than ever. Most of our society’s long-standing institutions treat morality with such subjectivity that it can be difficult for teens today to know how to chart a course that will lead to a blessed and fulfilled future. Ps. 119:9 asks, “How shall a young person find the straight path? . . . By obeying God’s Word.”
Directed by our full-time Youth Pastor, our junior and senior high youth groups are especially effective in ministering to our kids through these important formative years. In addition to innovative Bible teaching and opportunities for service, our weekly youth services facilitate the formation of supportive friendships that help teens to resist peer pressure.
One of the highlights of our youth group is the teen drama team. Using contemporary music and theater techniques, our teens have ministered extensively to our congregation and community. Our teens have won several local and regional competitions, and have competed at the National Fine Arts Festival in gatherings of more than 10,000 Christian teens from across the country.
