Youth Ministry
A welcome from our youth pastor
Hello! My name is Mark Schearer and I've been serving here at Court Street for over 10 years! The youth program here focuses on relationships -- I believe the best way to experience God is through community! If you're in
6th-12th grade, you're invited to come check it out!

I believe that Christ wants to be a part of our story through partnering with us. At Court Street, I desire to create an environment where young people feel accepted, loved, and encouraged to grow in their relationship with Christ. We play games together, study the Bible together, and walk together in life as we follow Jesus.
Our Youth Leaders
Our current youth leaders are Mark, Rosemary, Lydia, Lance and Zack. Each leader is trained and has gone through an application process along with a background check.
Youth Group
Middle and High School students are welcome every Wednesday from 6:30-7:45pm. We start with a message, and then transition into small groups to discuss the teachings and apply them in our lives personally. After small groups, we play group games. Wednesday nights are perfect for students who want to grow closer to God and have fun in community.

Bible Study
Tuesday nights from 7pm-8:30pm we have a Bible study that's for anyone. Recently we have been going through a book of the Bible chapter by chapter followed by a time of prayer. On the first Tuesday of every month is "community night" which is a time where we share a meal together and play a game. Bible study is a quiter space with a heavier emphasis on studying scripture.
Sunday Mornings
Youth Ministry has taken over the Café on Sundays! Each week we serve our church before services with free drip coffee and a limited menu of drinks to order. We've given training for youth to take orders, run the espresso machine, and all the other practical skills for running a coffee shop. Reach out if you want to join our rotation of volunteers, or stop by to see us in action.

Events
In addition to our weekly groups, we have special events that happen once a month. They can range in length from a couple of hours to all day events to retreats and camps! These events are intentionally chosen to cultivate an enviroment of close community while bonding through fun activities and shared experiences.
