Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.
1 Timothy 4:12
Middle school youth ministry at IC/OLPH looks like many things. It looks like friends. It looks like serving the community around us. It can look like diving deeper into our beliefs, going on social adventures like paintball or go karts, working with a mentor, seeking Christ in prayer, or eating delicious snacks. Here youth ministry looks like an opportunity to get to know Christ better. How will you live out that opportunity?
Our middle school youth group meets in the basement of Immaculate Conception Church on Wednesday evenings at 6:47PM with social and game time leading into lesson and small groups until 8:10PM. Our gatherings incorporate games, stories, and lessons to both teach the basics of our faith and the Bible as well as to challenge growth in character even in young age. We also have various service and social events and retreats throughout the year. I hope to see you at one of our events soon!
To keep up to date with all of our middle school events and get on our mailing list please turn in a registration form (you can turn in a hard copy or register online).
Any questions can be directed to tony@ic-olph.org to reach our youth minister Tony Guidotti.
