REACH | ENCOUNTER | CONNECT


“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.”  – 1 Timothy 4:12

REC Youth Ministry exists to reach students that are far from God, connect them to the Body of Christ, help them grow  in their relationship with God while discovering their gifts, and to live a life that honors God.

Youth Service Times:

Middle School Youth and High School Youth each have their own service times and days. Service consists of:

Worship  
A 15 Minute Service
Breakout Session

It is so important that our Youth attend their dedicated services and events. The opportunity to be with their peers and leaders will only help them grow as young adults and will give them a sense of independence in their walk with God. We can't wait to see you at our next service!

DARKROOM FAITH

January 21 - April 21, 2024
New 14-Week Apologetics series for teens

Description:

We all have them. Those nagging questions hidden away in the dark corners of our mind. “Why would a loving God send people to Hell?” “Don’t all religions lead to God?” “Can I have faith in God and faith in science?” Darkroom encourages students to ask questions and think critically about their beliefs. It’s a catalyst for conversations that open your mind, push you forward, and light a spark within. We believe that faith often develops in the dark, and that many times, spiritual growth starts with comfort in the not knowing. Inspired by true stories of teens today, Darkroom is a 14-episode apologetics series for teens and mentors to explore tough faith questions. Each short 8 to10 minute video covers a specific topic and is meant as a jumping off point for deeper discussion.

Weekly Topics:

Week 1 - Doubt
Week 2 - Sin
Week 3 - Love
Week 4 - Religion
Week 5 - Suffering
Week 6 - Science
Week 7 - Bible
Week 8 - Church
Week 9 - Purpose
Week 10 - Identity
Week 11 - Mission
Week 12 - After Life
Week 13- Super Natural
Week 14 - Justice
 

Please note that some episodes may contain sensitive topics that children are exposed to today, such as drugs, suicide, gender identity and others Our heart is to present these issues through God’s Word and Biblical teaching. As parents, please use your own discretion if you should allow your youth to participate or not.
