Team 78…welcome to the team!

The mission of our programs for youth is to provide a community which encourages growth in our Christian faith. Adult teams lead these ministries centered on prayer, worship, service, and fellowship. Youth are encouraged to be involved in the church at large as well as in activities planned specifically for them. We try to keep activity costs to a minimum; financial assistance is available if needed.

Team 78

Team 78 will meet on the first and third Sunday night of every month. During these nights students will be challenged to deepen their faith and their walk with Christ. Guest speakers will frequent these nights and group games, food, and small groups will also be a component of Team 78.

45 Ticks w/God (Church School)

During the Church School hour of 10:00 AM to 10:45 AM students will study topics from the new CRC “Walk With Me” curriculum such as, My Only Comfort, The Father: God for Me, Jesus:God with Me and the NOOMA Video series by Rob Bell. 45 Ticks w/God is also available for 6th grade students.

Destination Unknown

Destination Unknow meets the Wednesday between the 1st and 3rd Sunday of Team 78. Students are driven to an off-site location for a “hands-on” Bible study. These locations may include a courthouse, a cemetery, a funeral home, a fire house, a prison, etc. The Bible study will relate to the location.

Monthly Activities

These may include a trip to the zoo, an amusement park, a beach, Craig’s Cruisers, etc.
