For the 2025-2026 school year, we’ll be using “Everyday Theology for Teens: What You Believe Matters” by Mary Wiley

Our Youth Ministry program seeks to nurture our youth’s faith, love for Jesus Christ, compassion for others, and heart for service through Bible study, fun events, and service opportunities. We strive to help youth develop an understanding of how they fit into the church, the community, and the world. The youth are the future of the church, so it is vital to give them a solid foundational understanding of Jesus Christ and God’s people in the world. 

Some of our fun events include an awesome Vacation Bible School, a spooktacular Halloween trunk-or-treat event, a Christmas play and breakfast with Santa, trips to the ballpark, lock-ins, and more. We attend summer camp at Craig Springs Camp and Retreat Center where we study, learn, and meet God on the mountain. We strive to serve others through working at the Roanoke Rescue Mission and through our participation in other service opportunities. We also serve as counselors at Craig Springs’ Nature Camp for at-risk children.

“Don’t let anyone put you down because you’re young. Teach believers with your life: by word, by demeanor, by love, by faith, by integrity.” (1 Timothy 4:12)
