AWANA                                                                                

AWANA is one of the greatest children's ministries in America.  It consists of age-graded instruction focusing on Scripture memorization and understanding.  AWANA is broken into the following age groupings:

          Ages 3-Pre K     Cubbies

          K - 2nd Grade    Sparks

          Grades 3 - 6       T N T (Truth and Training)

AWANA meets each Wednesday from 6:30 to 8:00, September through May.  Each week, kids are involved in

          25 minutes Game Time

          25 minutes Handbook Time - Bible Memorization

          25 minutes Council Time - Bible Messages, Singing, Bible Stories, One on Ones

Throughout the year, we also have theme nights that include special activities for our kids and leaders.  We incorporate awards, uniforms, outings, AWANA Games (competitive group competitions), AWANA Bible Quizzes, Children's Music ministery, and the AWANA Store to further develop our program.  Our AWANA Commander is Mike Bulvin.  For more information on the national AWANA program, please click here. 

Celebrate Recovery

Celebrate Recovery is a ministry to all people with hurts, habits, or hang-ups.  The purpose of our Celebrate Recovery ministry is to fellowship and celebrate God's healing power in our lives through the "8 Recovery Principles." This experience allows us to "be changed." By working and applying these Biblical principles, we begin to grow spiritually. We become free from our addictive, compulsive and dysfunctional behaviors. This freedom creates peace, serenity, joy and most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God and others. As we progress through the program we discover our personal, loving and forgiving Higher Power - Jesus Christ, the one and only true Higher Power.  Our Celebrate Recovery program meets each Tuesday night:

          6:00     Fellowship Meal in the Fellowship Hall (optional)

          7:00     Large group worship and teaching time

          8:00     Small group meetings

          9:00     Hard Rock cafe (optional)

For those interested in deeper study, Celebrate Recovery offers "Step Study" classes on Sundays at 4:00.  A new module of Financial Recovery will also be starting soon.

Children's Church

On most Sunday mornings, we provide a children’s church environment for kids age 5 through 3rd grade. The children join us during the first part of the service and leave during the offering time to participate in a time that is on their level. Through a variety of activities, study, video-based lessons, crafts, and general fun, we try to communicate the gospel to the children and make it applicable to their lives. We are currently using a curriculum entitled "Sailing the 7 C's".  Because we believe that families should spend time worshiping together, we cancel children’s church on the 3rd Sunday each month or for any holidays and special presentations that we may be having during the service.

Youth Fellowship Group

Our youth fellowship group meets at various times and places! Check them out on their page.

Music Ministry

We believe that music is an important part of our worship.  If you play an instrument, sing, or act, we would love for you to get involved with our music ministry.  The following opportunities are available:

All My Praise - This praise band and praise team lead our worship times each week.  Our desire is to give all our praise to Christ, and to lead others to do the same.  This group primarily plays music that is contemporary in style.

By His Grace - This vocal group is for those who have a love for Southern Gospel music. 

Children's Choir - Our children's choir now takes place within our AWANA ministry on Wednesday nights.  Every-other meeting of AWANA, the children will be involved in singing and musical activities during the council time.  Kids will have the opportunity to sing about once a month during Sunday morning services.  

Soloists/Groups - We're always looking for new singers to use in groups or by themselves to enhance our times of worship.

If you are interested in learning more about our music ministry or getting involved, please contact Brian Teague , our Worship Pastor.

Jesus Loves Me Preschool

One of our ministries to children and parents is the preschool we have at Young Church. The school centers on a biblical worldview with weekly music and chapel times. We have committed instructors who love Jesus Christ and children.
