about youth
Youth Ministry at CrossTrail encompasses students from 6th through 12th grade. These are such pivotal years in which they are making important discoveries about themselves and God, as well as making decisions that will shape who they become.
OUR OBJECTIVE is to help them make their faith their own and become passionate followers of Jesus who themselves make disciples of their friends.
To disciple students through mentoring relationships
To give them the tools to dive deeper into the Scriptures and Christian faith
To provide a safe and healthy community to ask questions, express doubts, and feel a sense of belonging
Our goals towards that end are:
Our Youth Ministry is currently composed of two principle environments: Youth Connect and Reach Events. Each of these environments, along with our Worship Services, is thoughtfully designed for a specific purpose in helping form well-rounded disciples of Jesus.
Youth connect
Youth Connect happens on Sunday mornings at 9am at our location, where they are taught from Scripture about important, age-specific topics that will help ground them in God’s truth and experience his goodness. These lessons are taught in a discussion format to encourage the students to share questions, concerns, experiences, insights, and build a sense of community.
Reach Events
Reach Events bring the students together monthly for fun, engaging activities to build and strengthen their friendships within the group and, especially, to encourage them to invite friends from outside the group who may not know Jesus. From cookouts to game nights to Christian concerts or even service projects, Reach Events are always a favorite!
Safety is one of our values. Our leaders must all pass a criminal background check, undergo an interview with the Director and/or the Pastor, and work within established safety policies.
To get connected, come on a Sunday morning at 9am or email us at info@crosstrailchurch.com. We’ll have one of our youth leaders follow up with you!
