Youth Ministry at Grantham Church

We believe in Youth Ministry!

It is our intention to take students deep and wide by KNOWING God through a personal relationship, helping them OWN their faith through a holistic-discipleship process, and challenge them to make their faith KNOWN to their friends and on their school campuses.

LEARNING COMMUNITY
SUNDAYS @ 9AM-10AM in C15 (Youth Room)

Sunday mornings in Learning Community, students are welcome to connect with each other through lessons and prayer with cocoa and snacks.

 

EVENING YOUTH GROUP
SUNDAYS @ 6PM–8PM | C15 (Youth Room)

Students are encouraged to put their lessons into actions.  On Sunday evenings,  students meet for service, devotions, games, and snacks.

 

EVENING YOUTH GROUP – EXTRAS!!

Every other month, or so, we have dinner with a small group of “non youth” members of the greater church body.  We get to know each other over a shared meal and games!

We also intentionally incorporate new and different types of Worship.  We participate in Campfire and Taize worship events whenever possible.

Serve with us at Grantham!
  • Leadership opportunities are available for teens during the worship service to help oversee the care and teaching of children pre-K to 5th grade.
  • The first Thursday of each month we gather  to set up for Friday morning Sing & Play.
  • Throughout the year, we serve outside our church building with our Ministry Partners.

For more information on ways to serve, please contact Chrissy Hoffner, Youth Coordinator.

Volunteer with us!

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES 

Youth Ministry makes a difference. 15 years ago, statistics showed that Christian youth stayed in school longer, were healthier, felt better about themselves, were more likely to volunteer their time to help others, and had better relationships with their parents.  Statistics today show that nearly six in ten (59%) young people who grow up in Christian churches end up walking away. We need to build relationships with the teens to help them understand and own their faith.

Do YOU want to make a difference in the life of a teen?

Parent Survey
Parent Survey

What is a disciple?

Disciples are people in community who—empowered by the Holy Spirit—are growing to love, follow, and lead others to the God who looks like Jesus.

You (the parent) are the primary disciple maker in your family; but you’re not alone, we (the church, specifically Youth Ministry) are here to help support you.

Would you please take a few minutes to complete this short survey to help us get to know your family’s needs and if what we are offering is of any benefit to you – and if it’s not, what could/should we add/remove?

Thank you!
