We are RLCC YOUTH

REAL YOUTH, SERVING A REAL GOD, EXPERIENCING REAL LIFE TOGETHER. 

RLCC YOUTH MISSION

RLCC YOUTH meets every Sunday Night 5:00-7:00 pm. This group is for grades 6th-12th. Our services are filled with time to connect with each other through games and most importantly connect with God through worship, the message, and so much more.

MISSION STATEMENT: Real youth, serving a real God, offering real life!

Our mission: To equip and encourage the youth in the things of the Lord, to have a relationship with Jesus, and to use their gifts for the Lord. Our mission is to create a safe environment where everyone can create meaningful relationships and be themselves. We are a family at RLCC YOUTH, and we love to have fun, but we also love to take that serious time to connect with Jesus and have that personal encounter with Him. Every Sunday Night/morning our goal is to make students feel right at home as soon as they walk in the door. From the moment they walk in, our desire is to connect with students, get to know their interest, family life, school life, etc., and create conversations that cultivate and growth in relationships.

Then we desire for students to connect with other students through fun activities/game nights to first create a trust/connection with each other and then a desire to go deeper with God. This is the reason why we don’t do a typical youth service. Our services focus on drawing the kids out with fun titles/theme nights and creating an atmosphere to build trust and love through games easily, then we go after God with all of our hearts. We realize that students/the upcoming generations just want a place to feel love and accepted, and we want to provide this in a godly way to students.

Besides our beliefs, we also hold to some intrinsic values that dictate how we operate, how we lead, and how we treat others.

● A Christ-Centered youth group with a contagious pursuit for Jesus.

● Youth group should be Relevant, Fun, and Full of Life.

● Authenticity is Paramount. What you see is truly what you get.

● People take notice when things are done with Excellence. We strive to do youth ministry with excellence and give our 100%. 

● Youth/Children Matter. Kids are not the church of the future; they are the church of today.

● We have a desire to give to and serve our community, to share God's love through acts of kindness through outreaches, and events.

● We want to cultivate Real Relationships and students. WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN CLICKS People will remember how you treat them longer than what you tell them.

● We believe that church is a body of believers doing life together; therefore, we call our youth group "Family"

WHAT IS YOUTH ALIVE? https://www.penndelyouthalive.com/

Penndel Youth Alive talks most about what they love the most. As students continue to grow in love with Jesus, may they talk most about Jesus with their peers. A student's greatest mission field today is their school and their community.  Imagine if they were talking boldly and loudly about Jesus more than the brand of clothes they are wearing. What can God do? 8 out of 10 Adult Christians today have given their life to Jesus before Graduating from High School.  Our Middle and High School students are in their primetime to reach the most students as possible.  Students reach other students by sharing their faith. What is what each of your community needs?

CONVERGE- MIDDLESCHOOL CONNECT GROUP!

What is Converge? This group is designed specifically for the middle schoolers who are transitioning out of kids church and into youth. This is the perfect start for your child to get plugged in outside of the youth group. In this group, your child will get to know other middle schoolers in RLCC, as well as connect with the leaders/pastor in youth. Additionally, your child will get to have fun with connection games, ice breakers, and a message brought by Pastor Carissa. 

This is the first and third Sunday of every month - Students will be dismissed after announcements and finish when the church ends!

REAL YOUTH WORSHIP TEAM!

In RLCC YOUTH, we believe that no matter the age, a student can be used for God! We have Real Youth Worship workshops happening once - twice a month right after youth from 7:00-8:00pm (check with Pastor Carissa for dates). In these workshops, your child gets trained on an instrument, how to work as a team, what worship is, etc. If your child doesn't play any instruments but wants to learn, they will get the opportunity during the practices. We will be training students specifically with chords on an instrument. Below is the worship handbook for more information, contact Pastor Carissa. 


Fall 2023 - First Sunday of every month!
