Mission:
Our task in youth ministry is for kids to have a safe place to Grow Spiritually, Seek the Lost, all while serving others through Missions. This is a crucial time in the life of a teenager. At Memorial, we want to demonstrate to them that they are as God intended them to be: Perfect creations in his image with room for internal growth and spiritual awareness. We aim to provide a missions’ focused ministry, reaching out to the lost, while finding the joy that God has for our lives.
There are a number of weekly activities for the Youth. These activities are in place to give them the opportunity to connect with each other and pursue God together. The main meeting times are Sunday Morning Worship, Sunday Evening, and Wednesday Night. There are many Youth Events outside of regular Sunday and Wednesday Programing. Please check your email or mail for information about these upcoming events. In order for them to go to these outside events you need to fill out a Medical Release form each year.
Sunday Morning
This is our Sunday School for Youth. This takes place at 9:00am. All the youth start together meeting in the Youth Room downstairs by the gym. Sometimes they will break up into age graded groups. For a map of the Church, click here.
Wednesday Evening
During the school year, the youth meet on Wednesday Evenings for a time focused on building a sense of belonging and community. Activities on these nights are designed to show that scripture always applies to our lives. The bible is never outdated, and fun can happen while discovering that. There will be a time of games and announcements, and a lesson on being a light in the darkness (Illuminate). We are together from 6:15-7:30pm, with supper before that starting at 5:30pm.
Sunday Night
When school is in session the Youth meet from 6:00-8:00pm with the doors open at 4pm for fellowship before organized activities. Each Sunday is different but each month you can expect to worship, be involved in missions, have time to relax in each other's company, and enjoy the finer side of ice cream and coffee!
During the summer months the Youth meet on Sunday evenings from 4:00-8:00pm, with food, games, and a chance to load up and explore different places around town and the valley for our lesson.
