We are a small youth group with a focus on community and taking care of each other.

On a normal night, we'll have between 25 and 35 middle and high schoolers.

In addition, we have between 4-8 youth leaders on hand each night.

We work and play in groups.  That means that while middle and high schoolers may be in the room together for a devotional, game or small groups, they are often not together.

We will, however, separate into different spaces for some games and if we are covering a topic that is more mature in nature.

Arrival is anywhere from 6:45- 7 p.m.  In general, when teens arrive, they will come inside through the youth doors and check in.  Once they have a name label, they are free to hang out, play outside, or go to the Snack Shack.  At 7:00, we officially pull everyone together to open in prayer.  

The first time you attend, you will need to fill out a registration with your name, phone number, age, medical needs & contact info.  You can do that in advance using the "Register Now" button at the top of this page.

A normal night will consist of a Kahoot played in teams, reviewing announcements, and introducing the topics for the night.

We will then move into 1 worship song, which is normally simple or acoustic.  We do not use a full band and stage.

After worship will be a time of prayer and an intro to our small group reading and dicussions.

Small groups are done with scripture in hand and a conscious effort to teach kids how to navigate scripture and how to spend time with God on their own.

Finally, we will close out in 30 minutes of game time.  Games are often broken up between middle and high school and are really dirven by the interests of the kids in group.

All volunteers in rYouth are background-checked.

Once group starts, all exterior doors are locked.

All teens and volunteers are required to check in when they arrive so we have an accurate understanding of who is in the building.  

We will also have a Safety Volunteer on site to monitor doors.

All key volunteers are connected with Walkie-Talkies.

Some games we play do involve food, and sometimes we have treats connected to a specific event or activity.  

We do have a Snack Shack with simple candy, chips, and soda for teens to purchase.  Items range from $0.50 to $2.00.  We take cash or tap.

There are dye-free and sugar-free options for teens to purchase if they would like.  

If your teen is a driver, they are dismissed first at 8:35 and escorted out by one of our volunteers to ensure they get to their cars.

If you are picking your teen up, cars will line up on the road in front of the youth doors.  

A volunteer will come to your car to ask who you are picking up and announce on the mic for them to come out.  

Teens are required to leave in the same manner that they arrived unless there is a message in writing via text or Band App from their guardian.
