Youth Convention & Fine Arts Festival |
Our Youth Ministry is led by those with a real desire to creatively meet each young person's spiritual, emotional and social needs. The teens meet each Wednesday night for fun-filled sessions of games, music, prayer and lessons on practical living. Outings are planned for various times during the year..
Youth Convention & Fine Arts Festival:
The Youth Convention is the highlight of every spring for the teenage members of our congregation. This statewide sponsored event attracts thousands of young people for a period of highly energized music, concerts and Bible-based preaching. The Fine Arts Festival is a national event, in which over 10,000 youth compete nationally in a demonstration of their talents in music, drama and the arts. Participants are evaluated by experts and encouraged to develop their talents.
Young women, through high school age, are welcome to join, enjoy and grow in this multi-faceted achievement program. From Rainbows and Daisies through Prims and Stars, they will advance in rank as they learn what we believe, why we believe it, and how to live life as a charming, well-rounded and competent Christian woman.
The boys in our congregation have a similar achievement program, with levels ranging from Straight Arrows through Buckaroos, Pioneers and Trailblazers. This program also provides opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, camping and nature study; all while getting to know our Creator.
We provide opportunities for our teens to grow in a setting away from home through our various retreats and summer camps. In our summer camps, several hundred young people from across the state come together at the Penn-Del Conference Center in Carlisle for a week of in-depth training and youth-centered activities. We also have retreats in September and January, focusing primarily on the challenges the youth of today face. A pleasant side-effect of these camps and retreats are the lasting friendships that many participants form.
