"Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness,
faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure
heart." 2 Tim. 2:22
Witness of Christ’s love to all people
Opportunity to participate in regular Bible study and
fellowship
Respect our peers, those in authority, and our environment
Serve those in need
Hope that comes from Christ’s life, death and resurrection
Invite others to join us for activities
Praise God through church attendance, youth activities
and prayer
This
is most certainly true.
The
purpose of our youth group is not to do activities just to stay
busy, but to grow individually and as a group. Outside of Sunday
mornings, youth have the opportunity to be a part of small group
bible study, fun and service activities. We use our gifts and
talents to serve others by working at the Chattanooga food bank,
Habitat for Humanity and the wildlife center. Not everything is
‘work’, but fun and celebration. We gather for “lunch
and a movie” on the second Sunday of every month after the
worship service. The youth enjoy going bowling and trying to get
the highest score by bowling with their opposite hand. We encourage
you to join us!
