"Let the children come to me, and do not hinder
them; for to such belongs the kingdom of God."
Matthew 19:15, Mark 10:16, & Luke 18:17
About the Youth Ministry:
Did you know that God was a teenager? Although we don't have much written in Scripture
about his upbringing, we do know that Jesus grew from a child into an adult. Our Lord knows
the troubling nature of adolescence and longs to share His love with pre-teens and teenagers!
The Youth Ministry of St. Anne's seeks to help students to navigate this sometimes difficult
season of life with the support and mentoring of a loving, life-giving community. Our groups
study the Bible, worship the Lord, experience small groups, and share the love of Jesus with a
hurting world....oh yeah, and we also have tons of FUN!!! Come check us out on a Wednesday
or Thursday night!
Club 567 is a group for kids in grades 5 through 7. It
meets every other Thursday night from 6:30 to 8:30
pm in the Youth Room (downstairs in the Education
Building). This semi-weekly gathering is a time of
fellowship, silliness, games, skits, music, small group
discussions, and hearing teaching from the Word of
God. Club 567 is also an excellent opportunity for
pre-teens to bring their friends to hear about Jesus
who might be intimidated for whatever reason by our
Sunday morning worship. This Fall we will be exploring
the group's theme verses, Proverbs 3:5-7, to
see what it means to trust in the Lord, to be guided by
him, and to avoid being wise in our own eyes.
The Youth Group is a group for teenagers in grades
8-12. This group meets each Wednesday night from
6:30 to 8:30 pm in the Youth Room. The purpose of
this meeting time is very similar to that of Club 567,
so it is a regular opportunity for teens to bring their
friends to church. Over the coming months we will
be focusing on building relationships with one
another and exploring how to live as Christians in the
context of high school.
Sunday School is from 9:30 to 10:15 each Sunday during the school
year. The class for grades 5-7 meets in the Youth Room. The class
for grades 8-12 meets around the corner. This gathering time is more
focused on Bible Study and deepening our relationships with Jesus
Christ. A typical Sunday School class involves sharing, Scripture,
discussion, and prayer.
