Vision
RISE up and REACH out. The vision of the Grace Youth is to produce students whose lives are characterized by a transforming faith in God, a love for one another in relationships, and a commitment to serving each other, the church, and the community in order to bring others to faith in Jesus Christ.
Sunday Mornings
The High School and Middle School ministries of Grace Youth have become two distinct ministries: RISE (Middle School) and REACH (High School). RISE meets on Sunday Mornings in the Attic at 11am and REACH meets Sunday evenings in the Attic at 6:30pm. Our hope is that moving the High School ministry to Sunday evenings will offer students an opportunity to use their God-given abilities and gifts to serve Grace in some capacity on Sunday mornings.
Rise • Middle School
Sunday mornings at 11:00am-12:15pm in the Attic on the third floor Cornerstone Building.
Reach • High School
Sunday evenings at 6:30pm-8:00pm in the Attic on the third floor of the Cornerstone Building.
These gatherings include worship through music, biblical teaching, prayer, and discussion groups to apply the lesson.
Life Groups
Life groups are our midweek Bible studies and are divided by grade level. They meet in different locations and are a place for students to develop strong friendships with their friends and leaders, study God’s Word, and grow in their relationship with God. Click here to find out when and where each group meets. Life Groups will resume meeting on January 17/18, 2012.
