Youth Fest
13–14 October 2023
We exists to CONNECT students to Christ and other Christ followers, create an atmosphere where students are challenged to GROW in their relationship with Christ, and equip and challenge them to SERVE others.
Connect
We believe that you can’t do life alone. God designed us to be relational; both with Him and with other people. So we designed our Wednesday night experience to connect Students to Christ and to other Christ followers their age.
Grow
We encourage each student to be a part of our Weekend Worship Experiences and attend a small group. Our small groups include practical lessons, personal devotional coaching, scripture memorization, and time to connect with other students.
Serve
We believe that saved people serve people. As a church and a Student Ministry, we do everything we can to set students up to serve their church, community, and world. We accomplish this through mission trips, Bridge Builders, ministry teams, and service projects throughout the year.
Students Supporting Students
Students Supporting Students is a way we can strengthen relationships and make sure every one of our students feels supported in what they do. Our students fill out a form and attach their game schedule, band schedule, recital dates, etc. and the information is given to their family group leaders. This give our family groups a chance to build deeper relationships by everyone meeting the leader at church and then going to their fellow family group members game/performance. We know that what our students do outside of church is important and this is just one way our students can show off their talents while being cheered on by their Bridge Youth family groups. This is our way of gathering everyone together to have our Students Supporting Students!
Students Serving Students
Students serving students is not only our way of supporting the students in their clubs or activities, but it is also our way of training them to reach the lost. In students serving students, our students can fill out a request form for their teams, clubs, extracurriculars, or even for their friends teams/clubs. After they fill out a request form we bring what they request at the time and location of their choosing and equip them to show the love of Jesus. We at Bridge Youth show that it’s not just the pastor’s responsibility to do outreach, but it’s for our students as well. We equip them with everything they need to spread the Gospel and truly be Students Serving Students.
FAQ's
How do I get my student involved?
Wednesday nights are a great place for your student to be introduced to Bridge Students. Each week there are around 250 students that are involved in a worship experience and groups at 7:00PM. We also have events throughout the year (retreats, camps, parties, etc) for your student to be a part of.
