Activate: 9-12 yr Olds
These groups break away during our mid-service break, right after worship with the rest of the church. They go into aage-appropriate lesson and activity while the adult message is being preached.
Catalyst: Junior & Senior High
These groups stay in the main church meeting throughout on Sundays and meet during the week for activities or bible studies through Word of Grace or YoungLife in Indiana.
EXCEPTION NOTE:
Every 4th Sunday is "Serve Sunday" for our pre-teens & teenagers–instead of a lesson on those days, Activate & Catalyst go serve in a ministry area. If you have any questions, reach out to one of the leaders.
From time to time we host "Family Sundays" where we brave the chaos of having us all bundled together to worship God as one family. All other Sunday ministries remain in the main service the whole time. These are also typically services where we have baptisms or other special service elements. We typically do this when there is a 5th Sunday, but we make sure the whole church is aware in advance.
Our Activate & Catalyst groups meets at convenient times a few times a month to either play games, watch a movie, learn a life skill, have outdoor activities or host a Bible study. The goal is for our teens to have fun in a safe social environment, opening the door for more focused Bible study and training for life.
