WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT AT A YOUTH GATHERING

Middle School and High School Students meet weekly on Wednesday Nights at 6:30 PM at our Lake Worth Campus.

Middle School also meets on Sunday mornings at our Boynton Campus at 11am, and our West Palm Beach Campus at 10am.

Hangs
Hangs are where Middle and High School students have fun, play games, and catch up on life with each other and their leader

Worship
Every service we have at Journey Youth includes worship. At Journey, worship is described as love expressed towards God. In this context, we express our love and worship to God through praise and song.

Message
God’s word is the foundation and filter to everything we do and teach. Each month has a specific sermon series that teaches biblical wisdom, values, and the heart of God displayed through the life of Jesus.

Connection Groups
Connection groups are after each service and they are designed to do 3 things: 1) Connect youth to God. 2) Connect youth to one another. 3) Connect youth to a leader. Leaders use conversation guides that are based upon the message.

JOURNEY YOUTH'S MONTHLY WEDNESDAY NIGHT GATHERING STRUCTURE

Journey Youth uses a monthly gathering structure that gives purpose to each Wednesday night in the month. Here is the structure:WK 1:

Encounter Nights / or YTH Nights
Encounter Nights: The Youth Ministry joins our church on the first Wednesday of every month for Encounter Nights. Students and Leaders have an opportunity to engage in extended worship, a shortened message, and prayer. Pizza is provided.

On nights that we do not meet for Encounter night, we gather for a standard YTH Night.

WK 2: YTH Collective Nights
YTH Collective Nights are our big evangelistic night. Middle School and High School combines for teaching, and we begin a new series. These nights are evangelistic driven and will always include an altar call and pizza afterwards. Small groups do meet on these nights and aim to help connect new VIP guests to the ministry.

WK 3 & 4: YTH Nights
YTH Nights are our discipleship driven nights. These nights split Middle School and High School for the message and groups typically last from 30 minutes to 1hr. Students are encouraged to build upon the conversation from the week prior. Snacks and water are provided.

WK 5: YTH Collective Worship Nights or Group Nights

COMMON QUESTIONS

Is food provided at YTH night?

Dinner is provided at no cost at our Encounter Night and YTH Collective service. During the remaining Wednesdays, snacks and drinks are provided.

How do I get involved with groups?

We have connection groups for all students directly following service on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Wednesday of each month. These groups are gender and grade specific. (ie. 7th grade girls, or 11th grade boys) Each group is led by a vetted and background checked adult leader. We also include Freedom Groups every Fall and Spring Semester for 11th and 12th grade students. These groups are registration only groups and launch with our church-wide groups launch.

What opportunities are there for students to serve?

Students can serve in many different areas, including First Saturdays Serve, Kids ministry, and other Sunday morning Dream Teams. To begin the process of serving, attend our Discover Experience in the Discover Room directly after each Sunday service at both campuses! (Students can receive Community Service hours when they serve.)
