YOUTH
All Youth,
grades 6 thru 12, are welcome to participate in the Youth
Ministry at South
Jacksonville Presbyterian
Church
Throughout
the year, we meet on Sunday mornings at 10:00 am for "Sunday
Awesome" which is breakfast followed by small
group Bible studies.
During the
school year we meet weekly on Wednesday and Sunday Nights for fun,
fellowship, food, and small group Bible study. We also participate in
mission in various way throughout the year including serving dinner
at the Sulzbacher Center . For fun we enjoy lock-ins, movie nights,
game nights, holiday parties, trips to the beach, and the occasional
theme park. Man-hunt and finger rockets are our favorite
pastimes.
During the
summer the High School
students head off to Montreat
, North Carolina for the Montreat Youth Conference while our
Middle
School students take a trip to Massanetta Springs , Virginia
for their outstanding Middle School conference. We also enjoy a
Mystery Trip together at the end of the summer as a way to welcome
rising middle and high
school students to the group! If possible, we try to ensure
that our church bus will break down at the most inconvenient time
and location to build character and fortify our bond as a group.
Next year we will add a week-long long-distance mission trip to our
list of summer activities!
In all
that we do our hope is that the youth of this church will grow in
relationship to Jesus
Christ, their church family, and each
other!
Fall 2009
will usher in a renewed focus on youth ministry as we implement the
LOGOS
program and engage the entire congregation in our effort to grow
young men and women in our faith.
