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.

Bible Study & Small Groups on Wednesdays from 6:30-7:30 PM!

All students, grades 6-12, are welcome and invited to join Pastor Van for games, Bible teaching, Bible memory, and small group discussions. Get connected for accountability, encouragement, prayer, and learning. It is our desire that students will be consistently reading and obeying God’s Word!

Exciting news! On Wednesday nights, we will be memorizing scripture verses so students can earn “Youth Bucks.” Youth Bucks can be used to help cover the cost of upcoming youth events like a special Christmas concert with The Petersens, winter camp, summer camp, and other youth events. Or, Youth Bucks can be given away to help support a missionary!

In September we will be studying and memorizing Psalm 23 which will be worth 10 Youth Bucks!

This is a great opportunity for you to invite a friend!
