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.

Get connected for accountability, encouragement, prayer, and learning. It is our desire that students would be consistently reading and obeying God’s Word this summer. Bring a Bible each time and let us know if you need help with transportation. Invite a friend to come with you. Pastor Van, Drew Brads, and Blake Herzberger are the Bible study leaders this summer.

Bible study will be on Mondays, 11 AM - 12 PM, beginning on June 10. Meet at Shawnee Park, Main Pavilion (Xenia). We hope this schedule will help you to stay on track through the summer.
