Youth

Romans 12:11-13 Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.

Surrounded by adult leaders committed to loving and equipping youth, students are encouraged to develop their relationship with Jesus Christ, lead themselves and others with integrity in Christ, and live as Christ's followers in our world. Lessons are explicitly created to support students and their families, and students are given opportunities to develop as student leaders through the East Canton Church of God Student Leader Program. With Jesus as our focus, this group is about service, fellowship, fun, and adventure. We are learning what it means to be on fire for Jesus.
