Prime Time
On Wednesday Evenings at 7:00pm (the same time of our midweek worship service), plenty of youth gather in our youth room called The Harbor. In the course of an hour, youth jam out to incredible praise & worship music led by our own Youth Praise Team called the Water Walkers. Then we will listen to an incredible biblical message prepared by future pastor Caleb Baldwin who is currently in seminary. Many members of the youth leadership team are on hand including Youth Pastor Tom Papez, Middle School Pastor Jeff Easterwood, Girls Pastor Jamey Schillinger, and Youth Music Minister Matt Schillinger. Because we constantly wish to remain fresh to our audience, we will often times change speakers, events, and will substitute crazy games or team-building activities in place of music. For details of upcoming messages, click here on Prime Time.
Checking Us Out?
Our innermost desire of the youth leadership team is to grow the youth group large by growing it one person at a time. We ask our youth to commit to 4 basic staples: church, Bible Study, a small group, and a daily quiet time. We believe that our programs reflect that by making church and Bible Study convenient for the family, and by offering a host of small groups so that your child will be known well by at least one or more of our awesome small group leaders. When it comes to quiet time, we believe that is a must for all believers, and it will be promoted heavily to your student.
As for the other good stuff, our youth group is known in the community for a variety of activities. It is known that on New Year's Eve, we are the happening place in town as around 400 gather for a lock-in called Shoutfest. We also use our gymnasium for multiple dodgeball outreaches that attract plenty of excitement. You can count on our church to provide monthly outreaches, annual retreats, and a host of mission trips. We really hope that the Lord leads your family to our church, we mean that. If you have any questions, please contact me at tompapez@hotmail.com.
