High School Reach

The HS Reach ministry provides activities and growth opportunities for students in grades 9-12. This involves regular meetings, Sunday school, summer camp, special events and mission trips.

Weekly Meetings

Our weekly meeting takes place from 6:30-8:15 PM Sunday evenings at the church. We do offer snacks and social time for students who come early (6:10-6:30). We try to keep the format uncluttered so we can focus most of all on God. Games start at 6:30 sharp, followed by some announcements, and then worship begins. Our worship begins with singing the groups favorite praise songs. A time of prayer bridges the singing in to the weeks lesson which is always interactive, challenging the youth and incorporating the principles of scripture to everyday high school and family life. This is a time to grow closer to one another while gaining a better idea of knowing God, and living life for Him.

Donut Group

Meets Sunday Mornings at 9:30 as the “Sunday School” of the Sr. High. Run as more of a discussion group on hot topics and Biblical issues, this meeting is sure to fill the youth up, in more ways than one. An array of breakfast items are available (usually donuts and juice). For those wishing to partake, $1 is appreciated to cover the cost of the food.

Harvey Cedars Summer Camp

For Thirteen years and running, the High School group has traveled down to Long Beach Island, NJ for a one of a kind summer camp experience at Harvey Cedars Bible Conference. With a campus on the bay, a short walk to the ocean, rockin’ and spirited chapel sessions complete with the latest music and attention grabbing speakers, this camp has touched the hearts of hundreds of kids over our thirteen year participation. With such hype and such positive stories, this event is almost known community wide. Usually taking place the second week of July we gear up early with sign-ups taking place during late winter. Come on sign-up day, because spots go FAST!

Mission Trips

Powerful, life-changing mission trips have been a long standing tradition and commitment by the youth ministry of the church. In the past, trips to West Virginia, Camden, NJ, North Philadelphia, the Bowery mission in Manhattan and various areas of Mexico have deeply moved our students and all of those involved. Though mission trips can be the most fun, memory- making events of a teen’s life, it takes a serious commitment and a huge effort on the part of everyone involved, often preparing for six months or more before the trip. The trips usually take place in the summer, and require a solid commitment sometime during January or before, depending on the trip.
