Upcoming Events
Registration opens soon for Fall Retreat (November 6-8). Get away for a weekend of activities like paintball, horseback riding, and more!
Weekly Gatherings
Wednesdays 6:30-8PM: Our night begins with free time in the gym, where students can play games or just hang out!
Then we worship in song, dive into Scripture with a lesson, and then break into small group time guided by the Youth Leaders. This is where students can build meaningful relationships with one another, share prayer requests and burdens, provide accountability to each other, and discuss what they learned from the lesson.
On the last Wednesday of every month, the Youth Group will split up by gender and meet as two separate boys and girls groups.
Students must check-in upon arrival
Middle schoolers and high schoolers meet separately for Sunday School at 8:45 AM.
Equip and Support Parents
A vital part of our mission statement is to “come alongside parents” as they disciple their students. What we do is supplement the ministry of the home. For that reason, we have recommended some resources for parents and mentors to aid them in their ministry to students.
Discipleship Opportunities
Permission/Guide
For the safety of our students, we require either an electronically (preferred) or paper permission form for each student be filled out by the parent/guardian for each school year (once each school year is sufficient).
Mentoring
An essential part of discipleship is mentorship. We want all of our students to have a more mature believer mentor them in their walk with God. If you are interested in being a mentee or mentor, please contact students@cedarcrest.church.
Student Leadership Team
We are looking for 12 students: 6 boys and 6 girls to be Student Leaders! This team will involve meeting once a month as a group for devos and discipleship, greeting new students, help plan events, and help advertise events with videos/social media etc.
