Youth Ministries

For Our Youth

Rayne’s youth ministry is rooted and grounded  in God’s love and affirms a Christ-centered, Biblically based, and person-concerned approach.  We seek to help youth recognize and accept God's grace, discover their spiritual gifts, and to grow in faith and in service to others.  Youth meet for Sunday School, weekly Sunday night programs, and other special events. Each summer, the annual mission trip is a high point, and destinations have included the Bahamas, New Mexico, and Appalachia.  Other activities have included nursing home visits with pets, prayer and praise services, dramas and musicals, youth choir, Disciple Bible Study, retreats, lock-ins, scavenger hunts, sport nights, “yuck” nights, and volunteer work for Habitat for Humanity and Second Harvesters Food Bank. Youth may also participate in The Chapel Choir and Youth Praise Choir both of which perform regularly in worship.

Youth Mission Statement

“We believe we are called to live our lives as disciples for Christ. We aim to glorify God through worship and to nurture each other spiritually. As a Christian community we work to share God's love with the world around us by spreading the Good News and through service to our neighbors.”

"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity."(1 Timothy 4:12)
