Youth Ministries

 Cadets

Cadets focuses upon teaching 1st-8th grade boys about God through both Bible study and exploring creation. A Wednesday night lesson typically includes a large group Bible story, a short small group Bible study and a time of learning and practicing new skills. Counselors work to teach the boys useful skills such as woodworking, metal working, small engines, axemanship, fire building or a variety of other things at an age appropriate level.

GEMS

GEMS (Girls Everywhere Meeting the Savior) is a great program from 1st-5th grade girls to encounter and learn about God while enjoying fun games, crafts and interesting lessons. Meetings vary, but they usually include time of singing, a Bible lesson and an engaging badge or craft. Yearly highlights include a multi-generational tea party and a pinewood derby car race with the Cadets.

The Way

The WAY Small Group brings together both high school and college aged students in the Compass building every other Sunday night at 6:00. The groups name is based on the scripture John 14:6, “I am the WAY and the TRUTH, and the LIFE. No one comes to the Father except through me.” This is a laid back time of playing games, exploring God’s Word together, and getting to know each other and the youth leaders. Interspersed throughout the year are opportunities to go on weekend retreats, mission trips and local service nights.
