Jr High (6th-8th Grade)

    Sep 10, 2024 |

    We desire to see youth grow in wisdom, in stature, and in favor with God and man (Luke 2:52) as we journey together! 
     Join us as we embrace our curiosity and "Walk with our Creator" (Micah 6:8).

    Nate & Lauri Shumaker, Jr. High Youth Pastors

    Once a month on Sunday mornings we meet with the Jr High youth during the sermon time in the fellowship hall or youth room downstairs; these dates are listed on the calendar.

    On Wednesday evenings we gather together to build our personal relationships with God and each other.  We typically start the evening with the opportunity for youth to decide what they'd like to do. There are group games led by adult leaders, card games, and arts & crafts to pick from and enjoy before we all gather together. We design our large group time to encourage participation in discussion, group activities and reflection.  Small groups allow for closer relationships and vulnerability with safe and caring adults and peers. The evening ends with snacks as parents come and pick up their youth.  Snacks are provided by parents and leaders.  We invite each family to sign up to bring one salty or sweet snack for approximately 50 people (sign up below).

    Some Wednesdays we plan to gather together at local parks near ACTS (weather permitting). As Adam and Eve walked with God in His garden, so will we! On park nights we ask that youth get dropped off at the designated park (listed on the calendar) between 6:15 and 6:30. We will get everyone back to ACTS for snack and pickup time by 8:30.
