We Partner with families.

We teach the Bible.

Let us assist your teen toward bonding, growing & serving as a disciple of Jesus.

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart & with all your soul & with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children.” Deuteronomy 6:5ff

Bond

Where does my teen begin?

Worship and Bible study are your entry point for strengthing your bond with God as well as meeting fellow followers of Jesus.

Also, High School & Middle School Bible Classes both begin at 9:00 am on Sundays.

Grow

When can they strengthen these relationships?

Next, mid-week is a great opportunity to grow closer to our youth group in prayer, Bible study & fellowship.

Our Wednesday Teen Class begins at 7:00 pm.

Additionally, Sunday evenings provide opportunities to grow. We often have a Teen Devotional at 7:00 pm. Or we may just go out to eat and hang out together.

Send

What opportunities are there to serve?

Off-site activities offer new & wholesome experiences. For example, we often go on canoe trips, have game nights, play paintball, or check out a ropes course. More significantly, we serve the Kansas City area by prepping meals for the sick, visiting the elderly, donating time & resources to children in need as well as teaching & encouraging children at a Vacation Bible School.

Out-of-state Bible camps, youth rallies & missions are unique opportunities for highly committed teens who are dedicated to increasing ownership of their faith in Jesus Christ.

 “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.” 1 Timothy 4:12
