how we 'do' youth: calvary next and calvary youth group

​Welcome to Calvary Youth Group! A place to be yourself, form new relationships, and gain a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ!

Youth Group began again in September with weekly Thursday meetings**, and is as follows:
"We will be exploring topics about life, faith and God through the Alpha Youth series on Thursdays this fall. Our goal will be to create a safe space where students can express their thoughts and ask questions freely. Of course, there will also be plenty of food, games, and laughter as well! Don't forget to bring a friend!"

(6-12th Grade Students,  5:30p.m. to 8:00p.m.)
​​
**During the summer there are many diverse youth activities, times together, and times of celebration. To know what's going on at the moment, contact Jennifer Jacobo at 308-760-5819
In addition to our Calvary Youth Group, on three Sundays each month we offer Calvary Next. Calvary Next is a special ministry to our 6th -10th graders, who we recognize are no longer young children, but rather, have started into the early years of their adulthood, who we call 'young teens'. As young teens, we have a Sunday class for them that meets after worship on Sundays, depending upon the work schedules of those who have volunteered here. (Yes, we could use some more folks committed to the spiritual growth of our young teens. Currently we offer this class on the first three Sundays of each month.) Our goal is that by the time these young teens 'age out' of 10th grade, they are starting to own responsibility for their own spiritual growth, joining in with the adults in many aspects of service, attendance and perspectives.... even as they become young adults. Since we see our young adults as young adults, they are  asked to deliberately be part of the Sunday morning adult service and part of the adult volunteer activities once they begin to model Christ as central in their lives. We also offer Calvary Youth, a youth group open to grades 6-12, that during the school year meets on Thursday evenings, and at specific events during the summer. 

UPCOMING EVENTS:  

This summer's plans include service projects (is cooler than it sounds here, just ask me!) and camp.​
  Always check Facebook, or check the Youth board at church for news of upcoming events.
​ 
  Our primary goal is to be available when there is a need in our church & youth family or community. We are keeping our eyes and ears open for opportunities to do outreach! But we are also aware that so many of our own Youth family are needing extra grace and love.  Youth Ministry for us looks like genuine connection and being available.

“He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others.
When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭1:4‬ ‭
