Summer Youth Schedule: 2026
Summer is an important discipleship opportunity for the students at our church. And it is also a time for a ton of fun. I hope you are as excited as I am! Here is what we have on the schedule for 2026!
Sunday Night Youth Group (most Sundays)
We will plan to continue to meet on most Sundays throughout the summer. Along with Bible study, one of the core goals of youth-group is to help the students build and maintain real friendships at church. Meeting consistently helps accomplish that goal.
Cereal + Scripture (6/24, 7/1, 7/15)
We will meet a few times from 10:30-noon on Wednesdays. Since there is no Church Family Night during the summer, this event helps us fill that gap. This time is meant to give a strategic boost to students’ devotional life throughout the summer, and to give them a time to invite friends who might be free as well.
Vacation Bible School (6/8-6/11)
Our youth will be key leaders at VBS. They did a great job last year, and I know that they will make a difference. This is a chance for them to serve and lead. I am thankful that younger kids look up to our middle and high school students.
Archery Mini-Camp (7/6-7/9) There is a chance these dates might adjust slightly.
We are excited to offer a new event in the life of our church! This will be fun for those in our church, and it will be an excellent outreach opportunity. More details coming soon.
Late-Night Youth Event (6/26 or 7/10)
Our All-Night event was a hit last year! But it was tough to find leaders to be there all night, and all of the students slept for the last few hours. Therefore, I would like to try a Late-Night (like 8pm-midnight) event this year instead. Please let me know which date would work better for your family.
Youth Trip: SonServants (7/20-7/25)
Our students have been involved with this trip for a long time. Two of our youth went last year, but many of our current group haven’t experienced it yet (including myself), so I am excited for us to have the chance to go. This trip is a mix between a missions-trip during the day and a youth-camp in the evening. More details about registration, cost, etc. will be available soon.
Conclusion
I know that few families will be able to make it to all of these events. And I understand that many have other things on the schedule (from family vacations, sports, other camps, the OM Mission trip, General Assembly, etc). But I am hopeful that by getting this out to you all at the very beginning of March, you can mark your calendars and make the most of the discipleship opportunities that the summer offers to our youth.
