Youth : Youth Group

Youth Groups meet at the church Sunday evenings during the school year for games, fellowship, and devotions. Middle School youth meet at 5:15PM, and Senior High youth meet at 7:00PM.

In addition to our Sunday night gatherings, the Youth Groups participate in a number of other activities. Friends are always welcome. Youth are notified about these activities through phone messages, postcards, email, Facebook, and the church bulletin. If you would like to be added to the email, postcard, or phone list, please email the church office or call 614.766.5445.

Youth Group Ski Trips

Senior High Ski Trip takes place in odd-numbered years on Martin Luther King Jr. weekend. Our youth head to Holiday Valley ski resort in New York state for skiing, snow boarding, and fun. We rent a house near the slope, where we hang out in the evenings. Here we cook our own food, play games, and have devotions.

Middle School Ski Trip takes place each year on President's Day weekend. Youth head to Mad River Mountain ski resort in Ohio for a full day of skiing, snow boarding, and tubing. After a long day of fun, we return to church for an overnight lock-in for more fun, food, and games.
