EBC Youth Group is for both Middle School and High School students (6th - 12th grade). It is a place for students to experience a safe and age-appropriate environment while learning about Jesus in a creative and relevant way. Youth Group is also a place where we will worship in music and use the Clothesline to prompt us in our prayers for one another. This year we want to use Youth Group to give students opportunities to put their faith into action.

You are invited to join a unique discipleship journey! Perspectives on the World Christian Movement is an adventure of a lifetime that will give you a fresh and deeper understanding of God's story and His desire for you to be a part of it. Perspectives is a course of vision - a vision that will change the way you view the world and help mobilize and equip you to live a life of passion and purpose as Jesus did.

We will hear 15 outstanding instructors as they share from their experiences and teach on the biblical, historical, cultural & strategic perspectives of God's plan for the nations. Hear how God continues to work throughout the world. Learn more about God's kingdom and His glory. Find out what your part is in this exciting movement to make Jesus' disciples from all nations.

Is this course mainly for those interested in missions?

Absolutely not! This is a course for the Church. The goal is to bring our individual lives into a closer alignment with God's purpose; to join God in His story. If you want to grow and be challenged—want more vision, direction and eternal impact to come from your life—you will love this class!

Students, parents, and leaders are invited to pray on Tuesdays at 2:00 PM at EBC. Join Blake, Drew, and Pastor Van in praying for youth ministry.

• Visitation – on the first Saturday of each month from 9 AM-Noon. Give up part of your day and help us bless those in our church family who are elderly, shut-ins, or in the hospital. This is a great ministry of letter writing, phone calls, visits, and prayer. Your whole family is welcome to come. NEXT DATE: January 7, 2023.

• Leader Lunch – This is for those who are interested in learning more about student ministry and growing in your ability to minister to students. Leader training provides an opportunity for prayer and accountability as we endeavor to effectively disciple every student.

King St.) from noon to 2 PM. 2023 dates coming soon.
