Youth Groups
Grades 6-8 & Grades 8-12 CCY Live!: Wednesdays 4:30-7:30PM @ the Church Youth Center
CCY Experience: Sundays 2-3PM @ the Church Youth Center The CCY Experience will be open to all youth grades 6th through 12th looking to build their faith by focusing on discipleship and growing the gifts that God has already given them. A major component of this gathering will be training our youth to be leaders in ministry, our church community, and in outreach. Our time will begin with worship music and transition into a practical spiritual message for each week. Participants will regularly be encouraged to “take the lead” and prepare group discussions, share their faith, and pray for one another. Stay tuned as well for other occasional youth events on Sundays that will take place in lieu of the CCY Experience. Grades 4-6 BlastOff!: Thursdays 4-5PM @ Christ School, Christwood Blvd This youth group is open to all who are in grades 4 -6. The new group will meet on the Christ Episcopal School campus near I-12 and Louisiana 21 (Christwood Boulevard Campus or CBC). This fresh and exciting new ministry is called BlastOff! The afternoon program will begin with a lively icebreaker game, encouraging everyone to get involved and active in the group. The game will be followed by a short video clip or story that encompasses the topic we will focus on that week, such as friendship, “fitting in”, or identity. Following a short message, the students will divide into smaller groups to discuss the topic at hand with an adult to facilitate. This new opportunity will create a fun and open atmosphere that encourages group discussion of many relevant topics our youth face today and help us guide them through sometimes tough issues with a Christ-centered heart. BlastOff! will be held every Thursday from 4:00PM - 5:00PM. There will also be an adult-supervised study hall available from 3:00PM- 4:00PM for students that do not have a sport or other activity directly after school and wish to remain on campus until BlastOff begins. We will be using a classroom located in the high school building for the study hall and for our BlastOff! meeting space. BlastOff!
