"Crave" Student Ministries
Crave Student Ministries has lots to offer students who are looking to grow closer in their walk with God.
We have Sunday worship services every week beginning at 5pm. We begin our time with prayer and songs of praise then separate Middle School and High School students and have a time of digging into the word and discussing how we can apply it to our life, then a time of food and fellowship graciously provided by our youth parents. Prayer Team (open to all students) begins at 4:30.
Wednesday nights are our small group time. From 6 to 7:15pm we separate into small groups according to gender and age and get into the word using topical curriculum, and DVD series bible study material.
On Monday nights a small group of students meet for an in depth bible study time we call “Deeper”. Students have to complete an essay to be in the group and be willing to share how they came to faith in Christ. It is an intimate time of getting into the word.
Nearly every month we have some event going on such as Crash-A-House on the 3rd Sunday where we have our worship time and meal at a student’s house. We have a nursing home ministry that meets after our 11am services for lunch once a month; then we go to our local nursing home to pray, sing, and talk with the residents.
We go on 4 big trips during the year: a ski trip in December, a camp in June, and 2 mission trips in July. In August we finish up our summer with Youth Week where we do different activities each day. Some days we do service projects and others we just get together and have fun. We finish the week out with a trip to six flags.
In February we participate in an area wide event called Disciple Now. The students spend the weekend staying in host homes and have a 4 session bible study that they go through. On Saturday night the community youth groups come together for a worship service.
March is the home of our annual fundraiser called “Crave’n the Oldies”. The students come up with acts, skits, and songs set in the 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s and perform them on stage. We have a dinner and silent auction and all proceeds go to the youth fund to help lower costs of trips and supplies for the group.
Our Youth Ensemble is a group of junior and high school girls that sings several times per year at our 11 AM service. This group rehearses on Sunday afternoons. Contact Debbie Davis for more information.
If you are looking for a community of believers for your student to be involved in then Crave Student Ministries is the place. We would love to have you!
