Adolescence can be a wild, fun, crucial time of life. At CHS we believe in the power of community, especially in the teenage years, so we seek to provide an environment that facilitates connection to their Creator, loving leaders, and each other. We want to be there with you, in the mountaintop experiences, in the deep valleys, and (most importantly) the day to day growth. We invite students to join us to be involved one of the many ways listed below. To learn more or have a conversation, reach out to us! (youth@chsroanoke.com)
What we have for students:
Just as Jesus called 12 and then sent some out in pairs, we believe that discipleship is intended to take place within a community. We do this in a number of ways:
SUNDAY SCHOOL
Our students meet every Sunday at 10am for Sunday School in the Youth Lounge. Join us for a home cooked breakfast and discuss life and the gospel. For Sunday school, come join us on Sunday mornings in the youth center from 10-11. To get there, head down the steps outside the sanctuary, walk through the doors on the left and follow the sounds of ping pong and air hockey and the smell of bacon. You can’t miss it. We will eat, play, and discuss how the Gospel relates to our lives.
LIFE GROUPS
Life groups consist of small groups or boys or girls of similar ages. They meet most Sunday nights at 5:00 p.m. at the church. To get connected, please email youth@chsroanke.com. At life groups, you can expect to play, eat (of course!), and connect on a more personal level with others in the church. Each group is led by a team of two vetted and trained adult volunteers.
CAMP BOOYAH
We also grow in community through our time at Camp Booyah! Booyah offers both a summer camp trip and winter weekend (Booyah Brrrr). Every year, kids say their favorite part of camp is getting to silence the endless notifications and stressors of their lives. For many reasons, camp can be transformative. Kids get away from the normal cares of the world to laugh and listen. In doing so, God breaks down walls to make himself more clear to them.
PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN
Protecting our children is one of our highest priorities.
