youth group
Our youth group currently meets on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month during the school year. We spend time in games and fellowship before digging into the Word of God.
Starting in September, we'll begin a study in John: I AM: Who You Are Because of Who Jesus Is. All students from 7th-12th grade are welcome!
If you have any questions, contact DCE Gina: gina.bertaina@ilcs-riverside.org

Growing together.
Whoever you are, wherever you're from, you are welcome here.
We think youth are so special that we gave them a whole new room for themselves!
Check out our "youth lounge" with comfortable furniture and space to relax.

experience god's presence
Youth are encouraged to be in worship with their family so they can hear the Word of God preached and participate in the sacrament of the Lord's Supper and hear how much God loves them.
equip god's people
Youth are not the future of the church, they ARE the church! We want to help them discover who God made them and what gifts he has given they and how they can use them to help others and grow His kingdom. Youth group is their own small group.
Engage the world
We want youth to feel comfortable to share their faith with friends at school without preaching to them. We want them to see the needs around the world and encourage them to live a life for Christ.
