CCoC Youth Ministry

We unashamedly seek to introduce students to the life changing person of Jesus Christ. Knowing Him gives purpose to life and provides direction for huge decisions made during this critical time of life.

Life Groups

Each Sunday morning the Middle School (at 9:00) and Sr. High (at 10:30) students meet in Life groups. Along with caring youth coaches, students discuss major life issues. Life groups seek to give students perspective from God’s Word. Life groups are student friendly often including video, music, food, discussion, and lots of humor. We deal with hot button issues like: friendship, music, parents, body piercing, abuse, parties, racism, war, and poverty. There is no subject too hot to handle. Come check us out.

SNL

Sunday Night Live is designed to build friendships through lots of activities. A typical SNL might include crazy games, small group challenges, lively debate, mystery guests, improv, field trips and food….always food. SNL often plans activities such as paint ball, Lasertron, movies and sledding. A recent series called, “God at the Movies” selected discussion points from current Hollywood releases. God at the Movies was a hit! SNL meets Sundays 6:00-8:00p.m.

Service

If you aren’t serving, you don’t get the point. Each month Sr. High Students organize a meal and program for residents at Buffalo Teen Challenge. BTC is a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center. This project is one of our most popular activities as students enjoy meeting the residents. Valuable lessons are learned through serving. Students earn community service hours by participating.

Recreation

Our new multipurpose room will provide students a place to get physically fit. We plan to offer basketball, volleyball and indoor soccer programs. In addition, we hope to construct a half pipe for students interested in improving their skateboard or skating skills

Everyone Counts!

God’s Word instruct us to “prefer others above ourselves”. Our youth coaches who constantly sacrifice time and effort to assist parents in raising their children model this selfless lifestyle. Our students are taught to consider the “preciousness of others.” We’ve learned that with Jesus, everyone counts! That’s the standard by which students are treated here. In this place students are valued, accepted and loved.
