This year, we're making some adjustments to the youth group program. The desire of Brown Corners Church is to create a night of family ministry here at BCC. Toward that effort, we are modifying our youth group program format and structure. Below is a look at the program schedule that will take place on Sunday evenings from 5pm-7pm.
4:45pm- Doors Open
5:00pm- Flex Time
5:10pm- Activity Time
5:30pm- Worship Service
6:15pm- Small Groups
6:30pm- Program End/HS AfterParty
7:00pm- AfterParty Ends
FAQ's
Why are you making this change?
We believe that the church is a family and the family is a major part of the church. We want to create a space on Sunday evenings where the church can minister and be ministered to as a family. This means we'll have programs for our littles, our students, AND our adults (whether they have kids or not!) in an effort to prioritize spiritual growth together as the BCC Family.
Isn't it problematic that the high school students are combined with the middle school students?
While we've run our programs separately for the last several years, many youth group programs run their age groups simultaneously. Secondarily, we've identified two areas where, for primarily developmental reasons, we are separating the groups. For the majority of our gatherings, the two groups will be separated by high school and middle school for all activity times and small group discussions.
What is the AfterParty?
In discussing this change last year with our high school students, one thing they were concerned with losing was time together to hang out as high schoolers. Our accommodation for this was the AfterParty. It is simply a casual time to hang out in the Hub with the high school group.
