Youth Ministry
Redeemer's youth ministry is for students grade 3-12. We want to see our students learn about God through His Word in the context of a welcoming community, one in which they can grow, struggle, be challenged, and build lasting friendships.
Groups meet on Sundays at Redeemer during the school year:
3rd-5th Grade: 5:00pm-6:30pm
Junior High: 5:00pm-6:30pm
Senior High: 6:30pm-8:00pm
Redeemer’s Youth Ministry
Our hope is that Redeemer’s Youth Ministry will be for both the students of our church and their friends and neighbors who may not belong to Redeemer, or any other church for that matter.
Our desire is to come alongside the families of our church and seek to assist them in the raising of their children in the ways of the Lord Jesus. The goal isn't to replace parental involvement, but to assist, encourage, support, supplement, and complement healthy family Christian nurture.
Our dream is that as we seek to pursue the students who belong to Redeemer, both privately and publicly, we pray that a sweet community is forged that is attractive, inviting, and outward facing to our neighborhoods - more specifically our unchurched, de-churched, or simply curious neighbors - here in Midtown. We long for even our Youth ministry to reflect the fact that Redeemer is “a church not for ourselves”, but for the perpetuation of Christ’s kingdom here in our corner of His world.
Our Annual Rhythm
From Sunday evening gatherings to summer trips, our students always have something to be a part of.
-
All students from 3rd-12th grade are part of our Sunday morning worship services. Student groups meet on Sunday evenings at Redeemer during the school year:
3rd-5th Grade: 5:00pm-6:30pm
Junior High: 5:00pm-6:30pm
Senior High: 6:30pm-8:00pm
-
Every other week Junior and Senior High students meet in small group settings in homes or around dinner tables to go deeper into the scriptures of the Bible and relationship with each other. These are divided amongst ages and genders.
-
Our staff hopes to also be able to occasionally meet up with our students for meals in a one on one setting to get to know them and walk patiently alongside them while seeking to make the gospel love of Jesus Christ real to them.
-
Students join in with the rest of Redeemer to participate in service projects throughout the year. Students have opportunities to join in with the rest of Christ’s body to love and serve and learn from our neighbors all over the city.
-
Each summer, Junior and Senior students are invited to attend RYM (Reformed Youth Ministries) Conferences in places like Panama City Beach, Florida (and even Colorado some years!) with other church leaders and students from all over the southeast to study God’s Word in the Bible, strengthen existing friendships, make new friends, participate in tons of fun activities/events, and to rest. We also attend our Covenant Presbytery's Fall Conference (CPYC!) at Victory Ranch every year with other churches in our denomination in this region of the country.
