Calling all teens, pre-teens and parents thereof! Come join us for a fun night of fellowship and unity as we grill up some burgers and serve 'em with a big side of fun.

This will also give us a chance to connect about the plans for the summer and beyond. Please plan to come if you have anyone in your family attending the teen or pre-teen ministries. We'll be unveiling calendar items and Bible Talk subjects, and are looking for feedback to make the youth ministry better.

We'll start the festivities at 5pm, and go until everyone leaves. Food will be provided, as well as the entertainment. We'll have several group games to participate in, and there is also sand volleyball, basketball, and tennis courts available, so bring your gear if you have it.

We'll meet and eat at the pavilion in Katherine Fleischer park, near the corner of Klattenhoff and Alpha Collier. To view a map, or get custom directions, click HERE.

Below is a bird's eye view of the pavilion and sports area, with Alpha Collier on the left (compliments of google maps).

Have you ever wondered what is God's plan for your life? Is it a narrow path that he's picked out the perfect job, the perfect friends, the perfect match for you? Is it a strict set of dos and don'ts - rules for perfect living? Is it a life of freedom with only a few restrictions to save you from pain? Does God even really care what you do with your life?

It is important for us to ask these questions while we're young, so that we can make key decisions for our lives. Regardless of how loose or strict God's plan for us may be, we definately know that he wants us to make decisions to protect ourselves from the power of peer-pressure and the worldliness in our culture today. (1 Thessalonians 4:3-7)

This spring, we're exploring what God wants for each of us. We'll discover just how much God cares for each of us, as well as what he desparately wants for our lives. Join us for Bible Talks and activities to encourage us to find the boundaries God has designed to give us freedom from sin.

Check the calendar for the most up-to-date info on what's happening soon.

This fall, the teens are digging into the concept of "Spiritual Discipline." Whether you want to graduate, get your dream job, or make it to the moon, it takes discipline to achieve your dreams.

With our spiritual lives, it's no different. God wants to see us succeed, and has given us everything we need to see our spiritual dreams fulfilled. (Eph 1:3, 2 Tim 3:17)

Even still, it takes discipline for us to put to use those spiritual gifts God has given us. Becoming a Christian - and staying faithful through the trials of life - is not one big decision we make in life. Instead it is the sum of every decision we make, big or small, to choose right over wrong, good over evil, God over self. (Luke 9:23-25)

We're exploring the importance of regular prayer and Bible study in shaping our character and our future. We'll see how God transforms us into the people we want to become through his word, and how this will help us to see his good, pleasing, and perfect will. (Rom 12:2)
