Sundays at 8:45 AM
Youth can join the adults in the
first service for
worship and Bible teaching.
Sundays at 10:30 AM
Prior to service, youth meet in
the Uturn room for donuts, juice, and games. Then, at 10:30 AM,
youth meet with the
adults for praise and worship as a family. After worship, youth
are dismissed to go to the Uturn Building for
Bible teaching specifically geared for youth challenges. These
services focus more on discipleship, but are not as intense as the
24Seven Discipleship meetings. On Sundays, selected youth lead
worship and teach the children in our children's
department for some supervised, on-the-job ministry training.
Sundays at 6:00 PM - 24Seven
24Seven Discipleship:
Discipleship of our youth is extremely important to us. The 24Seven
Discipleship program meets on Sunday nights at 6:00 PM. It's
designed to help young people
experience a reality of relationship with Jesus that becomes
a lifestyle affecting every aspect of their lives 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week—24Seven. This series of studies is comprised of
four phases that includes an intense, interactive, practical
process. We have seen many students work through these phases
discovering their gifts and the power of a personal relationship
with Jesus.
Wednesdays at 4:00 PM
Uturn Open: The Uturn Building is
typically open from
4-6:30 PM on most Wednesdays for tutoring, games, or just
hanging out after school.
All games are open to the students
during this time and we have a great time. Tutors are available
for students desiring help with their school work.
Wednesdays at 6:15 PM
Uturn:
This is our
Wednesday night program. It is highly evangelistic and designed to
give the students the time of their lives! While we go to great
lengths to provide a fun
and exciting time with great food and
fellow- ship, we never minimize our purpose: to introduce the
students to a radical relationship with Jesus Christ.
Uturn
starts at 6:15 PM with great food. Then we pack
the night with lots of Christian music, tons of things to do,
games to play, and people to hang out with! There is also an
enthusiastic, fast-moving, Bible-based, youth-oriented talk to
help young people see the need for a lifelong commitment to our
living God! Topics also help the teens bring the reality of
Christianity to their day-to-day lives. Teens have
opportunities to express themselves
musically and dramatically with special music and skits.
Special Events
In
addition to regular meetings, youth participate in several
special events through the year. These include game nights,
movie nights, outings (beach, bowling, etc.), and ministry
camps.
Acquire the Fire
Every year, youth from Uturn
attend a 2-day conference in Houston called Acquire the Fire
presented by Teen Mania ministries. It is an incredible time to
ignite the passion of the Lord in young people.
There are times of
worship, teaching, drama, concerts, and fellowship that are
completely geared towards the youth of this generation.
Youth Camp
Every summer our students go to
a one-week camp where they get away from the daily pressures of
teen life and take a close look at their lives from a godly
perspective. These events are always a blast for the students.
Many come back home with dramatically changed lives as a result of
the worship, teaching, and ministry at the camp. In the past we
have attended camps with Youth for the Nations (a ministry of
Christ for the Nations Bible College) and Teen Mania (a youth
missions ministry).
Youth Workers
There
is an incredible team of youth workers that help make the
ministry of Uturn happen. The various areas of ministry within
Uturn include: food services, outdoor activities (human
foosball, football tourneys, basketball, volleyball, etc.),
indoor activities (video games, foosball, pool, air hockey), and
security. It is through these venues that youth workers are able
to influence and minister to the students that attend Uturn. If
you would like to be a part of this exciting ministry,
contact the youth pastor.
(Note: A background check is performed for all youth
workers.)
