As a team of Christ-followers,\u00a0we\u00a0believe that we have a responsibility not only to accept Christ as individuals but also to dynamically impact the world around us for Him.<\/p>\n
Because of our desire to make a difference, Bethel Youth Group offers a number of challenging opportunities to grow in Christ. In addition to regular Sunday School classes, both junior and senior high students spend time together on Wednesday and Sunday evenings studying God\u2019s Word, worshiping, playing games, and growing in unity as a team. Special outreach events and group activities are planned every year. These diverse opportunities range from “Boot Camps” to “Christmas Wrap-Ups” to “Prom Alternatives,” with other fun events in between.<\/p>\n
Special highlights for Bethel Youth are the trips taken each summer. The youth group has a three-year rotation. One summer we travel to LIFE, the mass youth conference of the Christian and Missionary Alliance held in the United States. The next year,\u00a0we travel in-country on a service missions trip (locations vary). Finally, every third summer the Bethel Youth have the chance to travel overseas on a short term missions trip. These opportunities not only offer chances to grow in fellowship and experience new things…they give us as\u00a0youth a chance to grow in faith and live out our relationships with Jesus, whether\u00a0we stay at home and support\u00a0our friends in prayer or whether we ourselves are doing the traveling.<\/p>\n
Through\u00a0regular weekly events, special activities, and\u00a0week-long trips, the Bethel Youth Group seeks to glorify God, imitate Christ, and spread the Good News to a needy world. We hope you will come join our team as we spread His light here in Boone County, across\u00a0our nation, and to the ends of the earth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
