BLAZE Youth Group

SEPTEMBER - MAY

Wednesdays: 6:30-8:00pm, Coffeehouse 8-10pm

The youth group meetings run from September to May and meet in the "loft" of Grace Church. These nights are focused on teaching biblical principles, worshiping together as a peer group, and spending time in discussion break-out groups. Of course there are plenty of games, jokes, and laughs! The "Coffeehouse" opens up afterwards for some time of fellowship and fun. During this time the students can have fun with video games, board games, amazing treats and food, or just relax on a couch and talk with friends. This truly is a great time of learning, fun, and fellowship.

Whether you're a new Christian, been a Christian "all your life", or someone who has questions...Blaze is for YOU.

We understand that the high school years are some of the most formulating years in your life. This transition to adulthood comes with many challenges. We at Blaze want to come along side you during this time when you are establishing your own faith and beliefs. 

Upper Room

Sunday Morning during the 10:15 Service
Blaze provides one class on Sunday morning. This class meets during the 10:15 service and is meant to be a compliment to what is taught on Wednesday night.  For example: if the topic for youth group on Wednesday night has to deal with the prophecies in the Old Testament that point out the coming of the Messiah, then on the following Sunday morning, the class will take a look at the prophecies that weren't covered on Wednesday.

The reason that Blaze is only offering one class is because the services at Grace Church are appropriate and challenging for the students in grades 9-12. One way to help students feel as though they are a part of the larger church and not just the youth group, is to get them to participate in larger church functions, such as the Sunday services.  This participation will hopefully lead to a greater percentage of high school graduates finding their place in the church during their college and young adult years.

Special Events

Approximately five times during the school year Blaze will do a special event of some kind.  These have included, but are not limited to: Football, basketball & dodge ball tournaments, lock-in type events, roller skating, bowling, retreats and mystery dinner theater.  These events give students something to invite their friends to that might be a little less intimidating than youth group or Sunday morning services, and so are considered to be Blaze outreach events.  These events typically include an invitation to youth group as well as a general invitation to get more information on God, the Bible and Jesus. Check out our calendar for the dates and times of these events.
