Welcome to the Nazarene Youth Group Page!  Below is a description of the weekly programs offered!

Sunday School

The teens meet each Sunday at 9:30 for Sunday School in the Teen Center.  Teens discuss topics of interest and what the Bible says about dealing with life's situations. 
Digging Deep
Digging Deep is on Sunday nights from 6-7pm in the Teen Center. Digging Deep stands for Digging Deep into God's word and discovering the meaning of the Word.  Teens spend the hour discussing a book of the Bible and interpreting it.  Teens also play games such as ping pong, hang out on the computers, or just chill. 
Connectivity
Connectivity is the Wednesday night program for teens held in the Teen Center from 6-8 pm.  During this time, teens connect to God's word through a particular topic and go through the Bible and discuss what God wants us to do in particular situations.  The evening also consists of extra activities including an opening warm up activity, games, and snacks. 
Friday Fun
Friday Fun is held each Friday night from 7-9 either in the Church of in the Teen Center.  Teens meet for a movie one week in the Sanctuary, where a movie and discussion is held, and the next in the Teen Center playing games.  The games are either optional with a variety available, or the group plays a game as a team.  These activities rotate each week. 

Other activities include:

Monthly Outing

Each month, the teens spend one Saturday hanging out together doing an activity.  These include movies, lunch, shopping, or another group activity.  Check the calendar page for the date each month.

The Band


The teens are working on putting together a band and spend time practicing both Sunday and Wednesday nights.  The band plays in Sunday services, on Friday nights, and at teen events.  The band is led by Derrick Ladrach, and he can be contacted if anyone is interested in being part of it.
30 Hour Famine
Each year the youth group participates in World Visions 30 Hour Famine.  Teens spend one weekend in March without food, instead raising money for hunger awareness and participating in service projects both at the church and in the community.
Teen Retreat
Beginning in 2010, the teens will participate in a weekend retreat where they focus on taking the message of the cross outside the church walls.  Teens meet at a retreat location and have guest speakers who bring messages and activities.
 
Fall Retreat
The Teens participate in the District Fall Retreat each November and spend a weekend in worship, in activities, and hanging out at Camp Muskingum.  With no cell or internet service, teens must rely on each other for support and encouragement as they discuss Christian living.
The Alive Festival
The Alive Festival is now located in "our back yard" at Atwood Lake, located 15 minutes from the church.  Teens have the option of staying at camp for a week in June and attending services, concerts, and enjoying time swimming, playing games, buying band items, and enjoying camp food.
Fundraising
Our Youth Group is self sufficient and receives no funding from the Church through budgets.  Our group believes that we must be financially responsible and thus fundraise to pay for activities.  Fundraisers take place throughout the year and those who take part in the groups activities are expected to do their part to finance the group.
