In addition to the regular weekly programs, we offer several different Bible study series, small group meetings, monthly local mission projects, lock-ins, weekend retreats, summer trips, and much, much more!

Sunday Night Middle School Youth Group
Most Sunday nights from 5:30 to 6:00 in the evening our middle school youth group gathers in the West Youth building for their program. Although each Sunday youth group is a little different, they all normally include just hanging out while playing pool, ping pong, or foosball, then we play really fun games as a group, and end with an interesting and relevant Bible study. Following large group discussion we divide into small groups for connecting and making the lessons personal. We invite all middle school youth to come and be a part of this special time each Sunday night. Please check out this month’s calendar for the latest schedule. Return to Top

Sunday Night High School Youth Group
Most Sunday nights from 5:00 until 5:30 in the evening, the high school youth gather for their weekly meeting. This usually takes place in the West Youth building. Most meetings start with a time to hang out and catch up with each other. The rest of the evening is filled with games, Bible study, and/or working on special projects such as Youth Sunday.

High School Youth Chick-Fil-A Prayer Breakfast
Every Wednesday that is a school day, the high school youth meet at the Chick-Fil-A on Broad Street for fellowship, to hang out with friends from other schools, and to pray together. It is a great way to start the day and to stay plugged in with the youth ministry. High school youth are welcome to join us. All non-driving youth will be given a ride to school if they can get a ride to Chick-Fil-A. Return to Top

High School Youth Samaritan House Ministry
One Sunday a month the high school youth take dinner to the Samaritan House of Sumter, our only local homeless shelter. We provide a hearty, home cooked meal as well as a short devotion as we visit with the current guests. We also check in with Mr. Henry, the caretaker, to see what Samaritan House’s needs are for each month. We enjoy projects that allow us to pitch in by helping paint and other odd projects in support of this program.

Middle School Youth Mission Projects
One Sunday a month, the Middle School Youth go to Crosswell Home or Carriage House, where they join in celebration of Christ’s love with others. This has proven to be an exciting and fun time to grow in their understanding of serving others.
