Our YF Program:
Youth Fellowship provides an opportunity for youth to build
relationships with other young people for the purpose of spiritual
growth. YF consists of youth who are of junior and senior
high
age. YF meets on Sunday evenings from 5:45-6:45 PM before our
evening worship service.** In addition to our weekly
meetings,
we offer monthly opportunities for social and service projects.
(Please see our calendar of events to find out about our Sunday night
topics and upcoming YF events.) We also meet together for
prayer in Room 28 during our Wed Night Prayer Service.
On the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month, we meet in our
respective Youth Discipleship Groups. On the 2nd, 4th and 5th
Wednesdays of the month, we meet together (all grades) in room 28 for
prayer.
**Note: YF does not meet on Sunday evenings on the 2nd Sunday of the
month due to Fellowship Sunday.

Teen Week:
Teen
Week is a week-long youth event, held at the church, usually during the
middle of June. The
events run from Monday-Friday,
concluding
with an all-nighter which lasts until Saturday morning. Each
day
includes a fun event, food, worship music, and a speaker who will
encourage you in your Christian faith.
Sno-Glo:
Every January, our youth group attends a weekend-long event at
Pinebrook Bible Conference in Stroudsburg, called Sno-Glo. This
weekend features a speaker who challenges the teens in their Christian
walk, a worship leader or band, as well as several fun events &
competitions, such as paintball, volleyball, dodgeball, etc.
R.W.R.s:
The term RWR stands for a Retreat Within a Retreat.
It is a service project in which we travel to Pinebrook Bible
Conference and serve as staff for the camp while they host another
retreat group. During one of these trips, which lasts from Friday
to Sunday, we typically wait tables, clean dishes, serve in the snack
shop, and occasionally do other work projects around the campus.
Food and housing is provided for the teens at no cost, and our
Youth Fellowship earns money for this service project. It is a
weekend of hard work, but also lots of fun! We typically do two
RWR's during the year: one in the Fall and one in the Spring.
Teens must be at least 14 years old to participate.
ENCORE
(Youth Choir):
ENCORE is the name of our church youth choir, which is open to those
who are of junior or senior high age. ENCORE is directed by
Michael Herb and practices are held from September-May on Wednesday
nights during the first half of the service (approx. 7:30-8:00 pm).
The choir sings every third
Sunday
of the month during our evening service (except during the summer).
