Youth Ministry at Grantham Church

Grantham Church youth ministry seeks to engage youth with the transformative power of the Gospel and disciple them following the relational model Jesus gave us so that they may grow spiritually. We do this by:  

● Cultivating an environment of safety and acceptance where youth can be themselves, experience belonging, ask questions, explore their beliefs, and deepen their understanding of the Gospel  

● Teaching youth to love God's church and integrating them into all aspects of church life in order to prepare them for life after high school  

● Fostering life-long friendships across age groups  

● Providing consistent leaders who share their lives and model what it looks like to follow Jesus  

● Having fun, making memories, and offering opportunities for youth to experience Christ at work in and through them

EVENING YOUTH FELLOWSHIP – EVENTS!!

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.

We like to hang out with neighboring church youth groups, too!  Watch for our special Game Nights when there are multiple youth groups gathered for large group games.

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.
