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

​Welcome to Calvary Youth Group!  A place to:
-KNOW 
-SHOW
​-And GROW in Jesus!!

Youth Group runs September-April with weekly Thursday meetings**, and is as follows:
"Starting in January 2023, we are doing the Bible Engagement Project as a whole church—including Thursday night Youth services and Calvary NEXT.
(see info on "Calvary NEXT" below)
 
We will go through the whole Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, so everyone can understand the entire epic story—and the amazing role God has for them in it.

Our goal will is always 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 most 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 most Sundays 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:  

  **Always check Facebook, or check the Youth board at church for news of upcoming events.**

The Youth are working to replenish Summer Camp/Activity funds that were used for Convention to ensure that we are able to send all Kids & Youth to Summer Camp that wish to attend!
We have decided to bring back the "Pie in the Face" fundraiser! The students have voted on nominees who will be in the running to get “pied.” Nominees will be announced Sunday, January 15th, 2023 during service.
They will have names on a jar and whoever gets the most money in their jar is the one who gets the pie in the face! We will set the jars out every Sunday morning and Thursday night (or whenever Pastor Jennifer is available to take votes.) The voting will close on Feb 19th and we will announce who gets PIED on Feb 26th!
So save your extra bills and pennies to vote on who YOU want to get PIED!
***The "Pieing" date is to be determined.
​ 
  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.
