Student Ministry

Bring on the students!  The Youth Ministry is excited to have started. Our heart is to teach the Word, worship together, demonstrate and practice spiritual disciplines and connect relationally, knowing that who we ARE is just as important as knowing HOW to live.  Along with our regular Weds. night meetings, we are looking forward to some other activities as well, like Thanksgiving meal delivery, Districts Youth Conference, movie nights and more.

If you are a student in middle school or high school and you want to go deeper in your faith and your friendships, join the CVBC Youth Group!

Please help share the word and invite teenagers to join us. Youth Group is open to all 6th - 12th grade students.
