At Grace Youth Ministries we prepare students grades 6 – 12
for life beyond high school, whether they go off to college or enter the
workforce. We seek to teach students
Biblical Truths and how to grow in their personal relationship with God. Our mission is to equip them with the
Spiritual knowledge, Biblical wisdom, and grounded apologetics as they go out
into the world.
We engage students by expanding on the knowledge they already have about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit through interactive study. We apply the lessons the Bible teaches us by examining how we live in today’s culture. Grace Youth Ministries offers a variety of ways for students grades 6 – 12 can experience worshipping God.
All of our leaders and volunteers are background checked and have growing relationships with God in order to provide security and spiritual guidance. We combine with Grace Kids to provide training and education that help leaders and volunteers teach.
GRACE GROW STUDENTS - SUNDAY MORNINGS
On Sunday morning all students start with worshipping with the entire community of believers in the main service at 10 am. During the service they are dismissed for a lesson catered to their level of learning. Currently all kids’ 1st through 8th grades meet for fun filled lesson and prayer. Then we split off our pre-teens (5th grade) with our middle-school students (6th-8th grade) for age appropriate discussions on the lesson learned. During this time high school students remain in the main service to learn with the adults.
GRACE YOUTH MINISTRIES - WEDNESDAY NIGHTS
We have Wednesday night classes all year long for students 6th – 12th grade starting at 6:30 pm. We play games, worship, a lesson, and discuss how to apply what we learn to our lives. Doors open at 6:15 pm for extra time to hang out and get to know each other. Occasionally we will go out on the town for ice cream or burgers, all while learning more about God.

FRIDAY NIGHT HIGH SCHOOL CLASS (SUMMER ONLY)
During the summer months we have a special high school class aimed at talking about more mature subjects. This class meets at 6:30 pm starting the second Friday in June and runs every other week through August. We dig deeper and discuss topics like social media, sharing our faith, sexuality and how we should handle these situations as Christians.
SPECIAL EVENTS
Grace Youth Ministries has multiple unique events throughout the year. These events include volunteering in our community, holiday parties, and bowling. We also combine with other youth groups in the area for events. These include Friday Fun Game Nights during the school year, hosted by Grace Youth Ministries, and the Fall Escape Retreat.
