Barton Youth is a place for students in grades 7–12 from schools across our area who come together to grow in Christ. We gather on Sundays & Wednesdays to learn & be strengthened by God’s Word, our goal is to build real friendships through presence, and to grow in love for His Church through participating in the local church as teenagers. We are not striving to simply know facts about God, we want to apply what we are learning in order to navigate life with God. If you are growing as a follower of Christ or if you are seeking to know Who Jesus is, Barton Youth has a seat for you.
BREATHE. & LIVE. is more than a theme for Barton Youth, it is the rhythm we want to build into the fabric of our students and live out through student ministry. Each week we create space for students to BREATHE; to receive from Jesus through HIs word, prayer, and connection with others. We want this to be a practice beyond the youth room to everyday lives of teenagers their spaces where God has placed them. We don't stop at receiving, we &LIVE. What God gives is meant to flow through us to those around us. This is where we put faith into action; growing in Christ, serving others, encouraging on another, and pointing to Jesus.
Life Choices | Wednesdays at 6:30pm
Life choices will dive deeper into several issues and choices teenagers regularly face. Our goal is to help our students to deal with these issues biblically and empower them to help others who may be facing the same struggles. Each week, we'll continue meeting in Groups with Real Talk, Scripture, Application, & Prayer. We'll also come together as a whole group around God's word to be strengthened and encouraged to take what we're learning beyond the youth room walls -- to Breathe. in all that God gives &Live. as Christ in this world.
God is really working in and through us right now. Come Plant. Root. Grow. Bear. —TOGETHER.
Life Choices begins October 14th at 6:30PM!
1 John | Sundays at 9:30am
Sundays are a great opportunity to slow down and go deeper into scripture than we get to on Wednesdays. We've been following along with Bro. Tyler's sermons through 1 John, which has given us better clarity of the scripture in both a class and a sermon perspective. It's been a great way to gain a deeper understanding of the text and see how God's Word applies to our lives.
