Education

Youth meet in the Friend Center on Sunday mornings at 9:45 for Sunday School.  Our class is led by adult volunteers and our Youth Director.  It is interactive and conversational in style.

After Sunday School, youth attend worship together or with their families in the sanctuary.  

At least once a year our youth lead us in worship in what we call Youth Sunday.  They plan and implement every part of the service from greeting, music, preaching, and presiding at the Lord’s Supper to cleanup.

Youth Retreats and Summer Camp

We participate in our denomination’s outdoor ministry program at Disciples Crossing Camp in Athens.  Our youth and adult volunteers attend several events a year at Disciples Crossing.  At camp and retreats, youth are invited to worship, play, learn, and pray together with other young people from across North Texas.

Missions

Our Chi Rho and CYF groups participate in summer mission trips each summer.  Past mission sites have included Denver, Washington, D.C., Disciples Crossing Camp, Austin, and more.  Youth and their adult leaders spend a week getting out of their comfort zones and serving God by serving others.  Volunteer work has included disaster relief and recovery, homeless outreach, and inner-city youth programs, just to name a few.  In addition to hands-on work, the groups are educated about the larger issues that cause the need for this work.  They also have some fun along the way by sightseeing and playing together in a new city.
