Youth Ministries
Youth Ministries at Batavia Covenant Church exists to reach out to students in our church and in our community to draw them into a relationship with Jesus Christ by providing opportunities to learn about God with biblically based teaching and respond to the story of the gospel with a safe, accepting, and inclusive community of peers and leaders.
Youth Group gathers almost every Sunday night during the school year from 5:00-7:30pm. Students of all backgrounds to come together as we tackle issues of the messy, yet beautiful, crossroads between faith and life.
A typical Sunday night will consist of snacks and time to hang out followed by a game or two that will get us moving and having fun together. After that we engage in a brief lesson and then break out into small groups.
Small groups provide an opportunity for our students to discuss and apply what they heard in the lesson as well as what has been going on in their own lives. Small groups stick together throughout the year with the same leader so that those bonds of trust and friendship are built up to best benefit the students in each small group.
Middle and High School Youth Group
Discipleship Confirmation
This program is designed to help our youth in grades 7 and 8 to engage with their faith on a deeper level by learning more about scripture, church history, and theology. Our goal is not merely to teach content, but to help our youth move forward in their faith journeys and come into a transformative encounter with our Lord Jesus Christ.
Led by Pastor Eric, Discipleship/Confirmation meets twice a month following the Sunday service. Contact Us for more information on this program.
Youth Group Leadership
At Batavia Covenant Church we have a network of leadership that plans, prays, and advocates for the students and their spiritual development.
Small Group Leaders: We are very blessed to have a team of adult volunteers who pour into the lives of our students, pointing them to Christ on a weekly basis. Our small group leaders spend time with their small groups almost every Sunday night, building relationships and digging deep into their lives and faith. These adults are a huge part of the youth ministry program at BCC and provide our students with tremendous leaders and mentors.
Student Leaders: Our student leaders at BCC are empowered to lead and serve in areas according to their gifts and passions within the youth ministries and the greater church body.
Parent Volunteers: We are always looking for ways to get parents involved in the youth ministries at BCC. Whether volunteers are greeting students, bringing snacks, helping with a fundraiser, or attending a retreat or event…we’re all a team!
