Youth
Welcome
We seek to help teenagers know, live, and share the love of Christ. We value investing in teens throughout the years of adolescence as they grow into the young adults God has made them to be. At Holy Cross, you'll have the opportunity to gather around food, friends, and God's Word as we discuss what it means to grow as a Christian.
Goals and Purpose
- Continually reinforce our identity in Jesus Christ.
- Provide a safe place where students and adults experience the tangible love of God and feel like they belong.
- Provide opportunity for continual growth toward Helping People Know, Live and Share the Love of Christ.
Youth NOW
Sunday mornings, Jim Krom leads Youth NOW in the Youth room, consisting of 7th grade and up. They use various curricula, including offerings from Live! Youth ministry. They also prepare various skit-based lessons and present them to the young children.
Nightlife! and SummaTyme!
Sunday nights look like this: Gather for a meal; hang out with friends for games and activities with Pastor Jordan and the group; gather around God's Word; and grow in faith.
All 7-12 graders are invited to join us for nights of food, fun, and friends. Come introduce yourself and experience the joy of walking with other teens throughout the journey of faith and life. Guests are always welcome!
During the school year, we gather at Holy Cross on Sunday evenings from 6:00-8:00 PM for NightLife!
During the summer, join us by the firepit in back of Holy Cross on Sunday evenings from 7:00-9:00 PM for SummaTyme!
