CBPC Middle School & Sr. High

Youth

The Youth Group Advisors are Chris & Kristine Eason, Steve Taylor, & Keith Grogg.

The two youth groups meet most Sunday afternoons during the school year, 5:00 P.M. at the church. Visitors and newcomers are always welcome!

Church life is for everyone, including teenagers who have as much a place at the table as anyone. And, just as with all members, youth church members have the privilege of expectations. In order to be eligible for participation in the Montreat Youth Conference and other events, our young people demonstrate an acceptable attendance and participation record (specifics are announced at the beginning of the program year) at all of these aspects of faithful church life:

Worship in church each Sunday at 8:30 or 11:00. (If out of town on a Sunday, bring a bulletin from the church you visited in order to be counted as having been in worship. If you have friends or family over Saturday night, great! Bring them on Sunday morning. Otherwise, no excuses.) Also - all youth are invited to try the 11:00 Chancel Choir, another fun way to be there each Sunday.

Education Hour each Sunday morning, 9:30-10:30 A.M. If you can't attend the youth class because you're helping with a children's class or visiting an adult class, please confirm this with the Youth Education Hour teachers to be counted as present.

Youth Group Meetings most Sunday afternoons, 5:00-6:00 P.M. Not every youth in the church is expected to feel like he or she has to be a member of this fellowship. But members of the group are invited to make a commitment to it and live up to it, and will be given preference when it's time to choose Youth Conference invitations. (See the list of Montreat Criteria below.)

Church committees are always looking for youth involvement; young people with an income are invited to tithe or give a percentage as a regular offering; all special worship services are open to youth participation. No matter what your age is, come and claim your place at the table!
