Youth Ministry

Connection Youth provides a welcoming, inclusive, and fun environment for teens. We offer a variety of activities for youth, including, but not limited to, our outreach events, missions, and our regularly scheduled Small Group and Youth Group programs and activities. We have a very active Youth program at Connection! For more information about everything that’s going on, please contact Bonnie Ceban  or Kyle Smith (Co-Directors of Youth and Family Life).

Sunday Morning Small Group

Youth small group meets weekly at 10:30am in Room 3 for students in grades 6+. 
 
For students in grades 10-12, we encourage a gradual transition to weekly worship in the sanctuary with small group becoming a supplement to their engagement with the full congregation in morning worship.

WORSHIP: A LIFE OF SURRENDER & PURPOSE
March 8 and 15 from 6:30 - 8:15 pm | Grades 7-12

Following our winter retreat focused on the supremacy of Jesus’ name, students are encouraged to join this special two-week series to explore practical, daily expressions of surrender to God’s call and a life of worship. Week one will focus on surrender, and week two will explore our purpose in God’s kingdom. No registration required.

Sunday, March 22 from 11:30-2:30 | Grades 5-12

Youth ministry students have the opportunity to welcome and engage with our Unite 567 students in this joint youth event for students in grades 5-12. Students in grades 11 and 12 are encouraged to sign up as ‘mentors’ to be paired with one of our youngest attendees for the day to help everyone get involved. We are sure this will be a great day for students in all grades! Registration opens soon.

SERVICE: A LIFE OF AWARENESS & SACRIFICE
April 12 and 19 from 6:30 - 8:15 pm | Grades 7-12

Building on concepts of surrender and purpose in God’s kingdom, this two-week series will focus on service to our community and beyond. Week one will focus on building a kingdom-focused awareness of how to make an impact, and week two will focus on honoring God through the sacrifice of our time or resources for the good of others. This series will culminate in a community service project planned by students and facilitated by leaders. Registration opens soon.
