We strive to connect our students with Jesus Christ and equip them with the skills they need to live out their faith. We do this through building personal relationships in small groups and walking them through the Bible. We walk them through challenging topics and discussions and we encourage them to think critically about their faith. Every week, we offer free food, an assortment of games, and live worship that is led by our Youth Band.

Mission Statement: We exist to connect students with Jesus Christ and equip them to live out their faith.
Core Values: We love Jesus! We love this family! We get better together! And we invite invite invite!

What does a CCT Youth Group Night look like?

CCT consists of large and life group experiences including games, life group discussions, teachings, prayer, live worship and anything else we can think of to engage the youth. We craft our own curriculum based on the needs of our students. We focus on engaging the youth in a variety of activities that they find exciting in order to teach them the faith, and build a community where they experience Christ. We talk about the gospel message and inspire them to not just know about God, but to know him on a personal level. We equip them with the skills they need to stand firm in their own faith walk.

How are students put into life groups? Are the groups consistent week to week?

We divide youth into life groups based on gender and grade. We find that this is the best way to build community at each level. The life groups remain consistent from week to week as well as their life group leader.

Is there a fee for my child to participate in the Youth Ministry Program?

No! There is no cost to attend CCT. However, students do pay a cost for special events and activities outside the regular program, such as retreats and mission trips. For all activities, scholarships are available to students in need.

Does youth group take a break for the summer?

CCT does not take a break. We still have Wednesday Night Youth Group and Sunday Morning Bible Study. This year, we are taking a new approach to summer! There will still be plenty of fun, but student-led worship and lessons will continue throughout the summer. We also go on two big trips. We take our Summer Mission Trip in June and our Upperclassmen Trip in July. While on these trips we do still have youth available for those who are unable to attend the trips.
