Welcome to Youth Ministries!

We currently meet to study the Bible from 9:00-10:00 on Sunday mornings. We call this Sunday School. We have a separate Sunday School class for Sr. High and one for Jr. High. We define “Jr. High” as those students who are currently in grades 7 & 8. “Sr. High” we define as those students who are currently in grades 9-12. The Sr. High class will meet in the Teen Room, while the Jr. Highers will meet in the Room 13.

We also meet for some games/activities on Sunday evenings with a short devotional. We refer to the Sunday evening gathering as Forge. Which is based on Proverbs 27:17, because we sharpen each other and help each other grow.

Some important upcoming dates:

March 6 – Packing Bags for the Meals for Seals Program

March 22 – Lock-in (An all-nighter at the church)

March 28-31 – Qualifiers participate in Festival of Life competition near Boston

Values

Partnering with the family.
Developing strong spiritual students with strong spiritual relationships outside the home.
Serving others for Christ in our community and beyond.

Beliefs

The Selinsgrove Church of the Nazarene believes that young people are an integral part of the Church. Our Youth program exists to lead young people into a lifelong relationship with Jesus Christ and to facilitate their growth as disciples for Christian service.

Mission

To develop students who will passionately live for Jesus Christ and change their world.

We ministered to others in our community this summer by helping out with four different local mission opportunities. We served the homeless and down trodden at Elijah’s Bowl, touched the lives of over 80 children by serving at Vacation Bible School, brightened the lives of some of the older members of our community by having a birthday party for residents in Grayson View, and helped provide food for the hungry by participating in the Loaves an Fishes program. We also packed bags for the Meals for Seals program, prepared boxes for Operation Christmas Child, and sent care packages to college students.

Foundation

Develop a firm foundation by digging into the scripture every Sunday morning from 9:00-10:00.
