YOUTH:  EPICENTER (MIDDLE SCHOOL GRADES 6–8)

Jenny Childers, Middle School Youth Pastor

The Epicenter  middle school program exists to provide a spiritual, social and emotional platform from which we can launch our pre-teens into a more comprehensive biblical understanding. We also strive to assist our pre-teens in refining their social skills through positive peer interaction, while at the same time undergirding their emotional needs through positive, godly interaction with our volunteer youth leaders.

Vision:  To lay a firm biblical foundation for pre-teens to use as a resource to strengthen their daily walk with the Lord. 

We meet every Sunday morning during both services in room 113 and Tuesday evenings from 7:00–8:30 in room 113.
Before all youth services, all youth start out in the youth café, next to the high school room. After a time of hanging out and eating, we then split into our high school and middle school youth services. Parents you can pick up your middle school teen in the middle school room once youth service is over. We are located on the 1^st floor of Immanuel’s church.

YOUTH:  EPICENTER (HIGH SCHOOL GRADES 9-12)

Shenan Childers - High School Youth Minister

The Epicenter high school youth ministry exists to provide a safe atmosphere for teens to grow and interact as we teach and solidify a solid biblical foundation in the hearts and lives of our high school teens to use as a measuring rod for how to live their lives once they become 18 years of age. We do this through our Sunday morning youth services, weekly small groups, monthly social outings, and our summer mission trips.

Vision: To raise up a Godly generation of teenagers and young adults to have a solid biblical foundation and biblical world view that will shape their decisions and choices as an adult.

We meet every Sunday morning during both services in room 113 and Tuesday evenings from 7:00–8:30 in room 224.

Before all youth services, all youth start out in the youth café, next to the high school room. After a time of hanging out and eating, we then split into our high school and middle school youth services. The high school youth room and the youth café are located on the 2ndfloor of Immanuel's Church.
