Mayfair-Plymouth Youth Ministries

"They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." –Acts 2:42

Our Purpose:   We exist to impact the lives of all youth by providing a variety of opportunities for young people to develop an enduring faith in Jesus Christ, a sense of belonging in His church, and an attitude of service to those around us.

How do we fulfill our purpose?

·        Sunday School (9-10am):  Junior and Senior High Youth meet together for instruction and interaction with the Bible and how it applies to our lives.

·        Wednesday Night (5:45-7:30pm):  As part of “Church Family Night”, youth are split into smaller groups for deeper discussions on contemporary faith issues.

·        Study Buddies (Wed.@3-5:45pm):  Youth hang out at the church to work on homework together and deepen our friendships.

·        C.R.A.S.H. (various Saturdays @6-9pm):  “Christians Relaxing At Someone’s House” is an opportunity for families to open their home for the youth to hang out.  Food and fun are always popular for building our relationships!

·        T.G.I.F. (Fridays @3-5pm):  Another opportunity to build our friendships; hang-out, play PS2, shoot hoops, etc., etc.

·        Special Events:  We regularly participate in 30-hour Famine, Acquire the Fire, Summer Mission Trips, Weekend Retreats/Getaways, Concerts…  whatever we can do to spread the Love of Christ to every person within the group and beyond.
