Friday Nights | 7 - 9 pm

What to expect on Fridays:

We meet throughout the week, but Friday nights are our bread and butter. We do games, worship, socializing, teaching, and small group time. Each week, we split into two groups: Jr. Youth (Grades 6-7) and Bethany Youth (Grades 8-12). We do games and activities for the first hour, spend some time in worship, and finish with teaching and small groups. Small groups are divided based on age and gender. Doors are open at 6:40 pm and we start right at 7:00 pm.

Jr. Youth: Ultimate Team Challenge | Oct 9

This Friday, Grace will be putting each of you through your paces in several team competitions. Throughout the night, you will be faced with numerous challenges that are only doable if you work together! Come prepared to put in your best effort. I hear that candy may be on the line!

Additionally, students have been tasked with memorizing the Lord's Prayer found in Matthew 6:9–13. Prizes are on the line for those can than recite the entire passage from memory this Friday.

Bethany Youth:Physics Fight Night | Oct 9

Put your STEM skills to the test with several physics-based team challenges where gravity is your enemy. We'll be taking on several classic engineering trials: Spaghetti Towers, Tinfoil Boats, and the elusive Egg Drop. Compete in these tests of skill to see if you have what it takes to become the ultimate Physics Fight Night Champion!

Fall Friday Night Schedule

Next Week (Oct 16): Game changer | Youth Alpha

That's right, it's the only game where the game changes every game! The only way to win is by learning, the only way to learn is by playing, and the only way to play is by showing up! Prizes will be given to the team that is able to dominate through paying attention and adapting to whatever might be thrown at them.

We'll also be kicking off our Youth Alpha sessions during the second hour. Do you have questions about life, purpose, God, and the Bible? Youth Alpha is a place to ask questions and discuss if there's more to our existence than our culture might assume. If you're already a believer, bring a friend or two! This is an opportunity to invite your friends who are dealing with these same questions.
