Youth

Sunday Night Youth Group
Every Sunday night, youth grades seven through twelve gather from 5pm - 7pm. From 5 - 6pm, we gather in Glory Be Hall for fun games, fellowship and food.  From 6 - 7pm, we go to the youth area for a deeper discussion about our Christian faith and love of God.

Mission Opportunities
Each summer, the youth take a mission trip to grow in service, learn about the world, and create a deeper bond with one another.  Mission trips have included New Orleans, Heifer Ranch with Global Village experience, inner-city mission work with the homeless, Mountain T.O.P. in Tennessee, VBS on Native American reservations and Birchwood Camp in Alaska.  Local mission opportunities are available also through Wesley-Rankin in West Dallas, the Daire Center, Emmanuel Community Center, and Trinity River Audubon.

Youth Sunday School
We meet at 10 a.m. in the Youth room to learn and discuss scripture and how it relates to life now.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I have been leading Wonderfully Made seminars for about ten years. During this time, I have realized how important it is for the church to be involved in the sex education of children. Our children are making adult decisions at much younger ages and we need to be talking to our children and giving them a safe space. They are going to hear all about sex from their peers, so why not have the church lead the conversation in sex education. 
Our children are making adult decisions at much younger ages and we need to be talking to our children and giving them a safe space and be honest with them.
