Helping Students Know Jesus and Follow Him Faithfully
The middle school and high school years are some of the most formative in a person's life. At Guthrie Grove, our Youth Ministry exists to help students know Jesus, understand His Word, and develop a faith that lasts beyond graduation. Through biblical teaching, authentic friendships, and intentional discipleship, we seek to equip the next generation to follow Christ in their homes, schools, churches, and communities.
Our goal isn't simply to keep teenagers busy—it's to make disciples.
Through biblical teaching, meaningful conversations, worship, and opportunities to serve, we encourage students to develop a faith that becomes their own. We believe lasting spiritual growth happens through relationships, consistent study of God's Word, and learning to live as followers of Christ.
We also believe parents play the primary role in the spiritual formation of their children, and we're committed to partnering with families as students grow into mature disciples of Jesus.
Every gathering is designed to help students connect with one another while growing in their relationship with Christ.
Students can expect:
Whether your student is outgoing or reserved, they'll find a place where they can belong.
Sunday School | 10:00 AM
Students gather each Sunday morning for age-appropriate Bible study, discussion, and fellowship. Sunday School is a great opportunity to build friendships, ask questions, and grow in God's Word together.
Wednesday Night Bible Study | 7:00 PM
Wednesday nights are a time for students to go deeper in their faith through biblical teaching, discussion, prayer, and fellowship. It's a place where students can connect with caring leaders, encourage one another, and learn what it means to follow Jesus in everyday life.
Throughout the year, students also have opportunities to participate in special events, retreats, conferences, service projects, and fellowship activities.
We know visiting a youth group for the first time can feel intimidating. That's why our leaders work intentionally to welcome every student and help them feel included from the moment they arrive.
No matter where your student is on their faith journey, there's a place for them here.
In addition to our weekly gatherings, students have opportunities to grow through retreats, camps, conferences, and service projects.
