"Go in peace, for we have sworn friendship with each other in the name of the Lord." - I Samuel 20:42
 Sunday Bible Class, 10:00 a.m. in the MetroDome.
Our teen ministry program is a well-rounded program for students who have a desire to have Christ at the center of their lives.
Our ministry exists to Practice the Great Commandment of Love, Remembering the Great Sacrifice of Christ, Causing Us to Live the Great Commission of Making Disciples.
Important New Information
Here is some very important information to Youth and Youth parents about some changes for the next few months:
- On Wednesday, September 3rd we will be moving Halftime (Youth night) to 6 p.m. until 8 p.m for the following reasons:
- This seems like a no-brainer to better meet the needs of our Youth and their parents. Parents now will be able to
determine what their child or children do before 7 p.m. which would start our worship and class time. The Youth room
will be open at 6 p.m., youth will also be able to play outside if parents allow on the basketball courts, or youth can
eat with their families and possibly other youth in the Metro Bistro until 7 p.m.
- Youth will now be in class the same times as their parents which means parents will not have to wait around after
their class any longer. This will make it where youth can be home earlier because of school on Thursday and also families
who have youth and younger children can get them home.
Thanks to the parents who brought this obvious change to our attention. Sometimes when we have done something
for so long, we forget to evaluate other ways which are obviously better. Keep sending your ideas for us to consider.
Youth meetings before church will be moved up in time and Bible Bowl practice will continue to meet during the first hour (6 p.m. to 7 p.m.)
- Because of a hurricane day, our fall retreat in October will be changed to a High School separate Guys and Girls Retreat.
Teresa (my wife) will be leading the girls and I will be leading the guys. It has been 2 years since we have done this, and we
are due for another one. We will probably have youth vote on whether they want Winterfest of Winter Retreat at the beginning
of the year.
Thanks to all the youth and parents who sent their feedback and ideas. It was extremely helpful. Thanks for all your patience and support,
Travis Verge
