Youth Ministries

Rusty Lowe, Maureen Lowe and Brenda Dowell along with a team of other instructors create youth programs that give young people an opportunity to EXPLORE the RELEVANCE of a personal relationship with God. We aim for both a safe and fun environment to help our youth grow in all aspects of their young lives.


  Program & Events:


Sunday School Classes:
     The CSI team (Christ Searching Investigators)- Middle School from grades 6th-8th. 
            This group investigates the Bible searching how Christ can make a difference in
            their lives.
     The Souldiers - High School Students and some college students.
            This group uses topical discussions and Bible Study to guide them on their
            spiritual journeys.

Wednesday Night Classes: 
     CSI team & Souldiers meet at 6:45pm-7:30pm to engage in conversation about the week.
     This is a more relaxing time where students express themselves and their goals in life.
     These groups often journey outside to share their lives and fellowship with each other.
     Before programming begins, dinner is served from 6pm-6:45pm. This is a time to hang-out
     and visit with other members of our church family.

Yearly Events:
     Resurrection - A winter event held in Gatlinburg, TN. Youth from all over the conference
            come together to worship God with music, drama, games and a whole lot of fun.
     Camp Lookout - A summer camp for middle school students. This camp nutures spiritual
            growth through music, drama, games, ropes and challenge courses, caving, archery
            swimming, repelling and other fun activities.
     Junior and Senior High Assembly- Is a summer event that last a week. Students are
            inspired through worship, music, games and unique classes to develop their
            relationship with God.
