Youth

At Covenant, we treat it as an honor and joy to work with teenagers and their families.

We desire to develop meaningful relationships within the community of people God draws to Covenant, trusting that by doing so we will enjoy more fully His gift of life to us. Together we hope to point one another to Jesus, the Son of God who died so that we might truly live.

Our youth staff and volunteers are men and women who love Jesus and who love ministering to students.

We believe that one of the ways God communicates His presence in our lives and His care for us is through community. We invite you to be a part of our community.

Our Purpose, Values & Style

Covenant’s Youth Ministry exists to help students and parents know God's love and grow in GRACE together.

Glorify God
Reach out to Non-believers
Assist the needy
Connect with other believers
Equip the saints

The youth ministry at Covenant is relational. Relational youth ministry is sharing the Gospel by liking students, spending time with them, and sharing life together. As Paul said, “we loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well” 1 Thessalonians 2:8

More Information

Our ministry to youth instructs and encourages our youth in their Christian faith, and assists parents in nurturing their middle and high schoolers to glorify and enjoy God forever. We seek to engage the head, heart, and hands with the Gospel message of salvation in Jesus Christ.

Parents

Parents are invited to an informal informational meeting a few times yearly to learn more about the youth ministry. In addition, Dads of students are invited to a monthly fellowship and prayer time for the students. We also have opportunities for parent training a few times a year. These provide an opportunity for youth ministry leaders to hear from and interact with parents.
