Youth Ministry Update 10/20/2025

Church Family,
Our youth ministry has some exciting things coming up! On Friday, October 24, we’ll be hosting a Fifth Quarter Fellowship after the Cardinals football game. It’s going to be a great evening filled with food, fun, and fellowship—a perfect opportunity for our students to unwind and connect in a Christ-centered environment.

Then, looking ahead, we have our Purpose Weekend retreat on November 22–23. This will be a time for our students to get away, seek God together, and discover what it truly means to live with purpose. We’ll share more details soon, but it’s shaping up to be a powerful weekend.

If you’d like to help with either of these events—by providing food, helping set up, or simply being present to support our students—please contact me. Your involvement makes a huge difference, and our ministry is stronger when the whole church family comes alongside our youth.

As we prepare for these opportunities, let’s remember that the greatest way we can lead our students is through our example. 1 Timothy 4:12 reminds us, “Set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.” Our students are watching how we live out our faith, and every act of service, prayer, and encouragement helps point them to Christ.

Thank you for being such a faithful and loving church family. Together, we’re helping raise up a generation of believers who will walk boldly in their faith.
In Christ,

Cody Dowden
