The youth ministry at Fort Osage Church of the Nazarene strives to be a place where teens feel welcomed and loved while growing in their relationship with God. To accomplish these goals, the youth ministry offers a number of weekly opportunities along with other events and activities throughout the year that all teens (7th—12th grade) are welcome to!
Mid-week Youth Service. Our mid-week youth service meets every Wednesday from 7pm to 815pm in our downstairs fellowship hall. During this time teens come together to have some fun, worship God, and engage the Word of God through practical and interactive messages. All students are also welcome to our ‘hang-out’ time from 6pm – 7pm before the service starts.
Guys and Girls Small Groups. On Sunday evenings our guys and girls meet in seperate small groups from 6pm to 8pm. These groups are for students who are interested in ‘going deeper’ in their faith. During group time, students will take a look at God’s Word and how it forms and shapes us into believers for today’s world. Because the location of the guys and girls group changes from week to week, the best way to find out where the groups are meeting week to week is to check the Sunday bulletin as well as the announcements on Wednesday nights at the youth service. Along with small groups on Sunday evenings, we also have weekly Sunday morning small groups prior to the morning service that begins at 9am. These classes are mixed guys and girls and seek to help educate students in the Christian faith.
Other activities throughout the year include: retreats, summer camps, mission trips, lock-ins, superbowl parties, guy’s nights, girl’s nights, service projects, scavenger hunts, fundraisers, and more. The best way to find out what is going in in the youth ministry is to get connected! Announcements and calendar items can always be found in the bulletin as well as on Wednesday evenings at the youth service.
