North Central Church of Christ

Teens–loving God, loving others, serving othersNorth Central Youth Group has so many ways for teens to get involved! NCYG meets weekly on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights. There are covenant groups for both guys and gals that meet at separate times during the week. We meet on the second Friday of the month to just "hang out," and we have one large event every month.

Sunday Mornings
On Sunday mornings, teens focus their discussion on what the Bible actually tells us about how to live, to find out what we believe and why we believe it.

Wednesday Nights
Here's a chance to grow deeper and closer. We discuss, interact, and we apply the bible to our lives. Real problems, real peer pressure, distractions, temptations. How do we apply our faith to every day life?

Covenant Groups
Having the feeling of being alone and that no one understands is something most teens feel. We help overcome this by meeting weekly to discuss these issues. We talk about the good things from the week, the rough things from the week, and what separated us from God that week. Known as the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Focus of Events
Giving a teen the opportunity to connect on multiple levels is very important to us. Every event focuses on the following three areas:
Loving God – Spiritual
Every NCYG event is aimed towards spiritual growth. But some events we take it to the forefront. Making God the focus of what were are doing and building our relationship with Him.
Loving Others– Social
Having a teen want to come and build their relationship with God is SO important, but what allows that to happen are the people around them building them up–encouraging them both spiritually and towards more meaningful friendships.
Serving Others– Service
Christ set so many examples in his own life about his relationship with God, his relationship with others; but, one example he set over and over was how to serve those around him We see that meeting others physical needs can lead to filling them spiritually and emotionally.

NCYG Yearly Events
Winterfest
The biggest event of our year is in February, when we head down to Gatlinburg, TN to meet up with thousands of other teens from around the country. We join them in worship, praise, and get to know each other on a whole new level.
Advance
To start out the new school year, our whole group heads down to Camp Olivette for our kick off retreat. We focus on working together to Advance our faith together as one group. The relationships built there, set up the rest of the year.
Reveal
Every year we take the opportunity to get away with just our senior high group for a weekend. We are able to jump right into things and challenge ourselves to Reveal something to others, to ourselves, and to God.
Missions
NCYG participate in foreign, domestic and local missions. We have a 3-year cycle in which we rotate our focus. Teens learn that mission work happens everywhere and can have an impact on lives anywhere.
Summer Camp
Getting away from our regular routine back home is a large reason we head out to Camp Wabashi each year to focus on our relationship with God. Getting together with teens from around the state shows our teens that they are not alone in their walk with Christ.
