We partner with parents to point students to Jesus. We want to help our youth see that following Jesus, even while hard at times, leads to the true good life.

We also know that the youth in our church face age-specific pressures and temptations as they learn to wrestle with what it means to follow Jesus. Restoration Youth comes alongside parents to provide a place where the young men and women in our church learn about Jesus with friends while having fun.[/vc_column_text][vc_button button_color=”color-801810″ outline=”yes” border_width=”2″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fmy.display.church%2Fc%2FmUQtqmCz” button_color_type=”uncode-palette” uncode_shortcode_id=”136348″]Fall 2024 Schedule[/vc_button][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ align_horizontal=”align_right” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ align_medium=”align_center_tablet” medium_width=”0″ align_mobile=”align_center_mobile” mobile_width=”0″ width=”2/6″][vc_separator sep_color=”color-801810″ el_height=”3px” el_width=”50%”][vc_custom_heading text_color=”color-134593″ text_size=”h3″ text_weight=”300″]Youth Gatherings[/vc_custom_heading][/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”3/6″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”713033″]Our middle and high school students meet on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month from 5-6:30 PM at the church building. We use these gatherings to study the Bible together, pray for one another, discuss the highs and lows of life, and build friendships. Once a month, we meet for a time of fun and fellowship, engaging in a variety of on and off-campus activities.[/vc_column_text][vc_accordion active_tab=”0″][vc_accordion_tab gutter_size=”2″ column_padding=”2″ title=”What curriculum do you use?” tab_id=”1527273211748-3-0″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”881114″]This year, we will study the letter to the Romans, seeking to answer two questions: 1) What is the gospel? and 2) How does the gospel help us understand the world?
