When do youth groups meet?Youth groups meet most Sundays from 5 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. If there’s a holiday, we probably don’t. And first Sunday of Spring Break is absolutely a holiday.
Who can come to youth group meetings?
Youth in the appropriate grades. Wait, is this one of those questions where it’s supposed to be all, “Everyone is welcome, no matter what!”? Because everyone is welcome, no matter what. We ask only three things—every person must be allowed to be safe, welcome and loved. That’s it.
Who’s in charge of all this?
Creekwood’s Associate Minister, Arthur Stewart, oversees the Youth programs at Creekwood. (He was the Youth Minister for years before being called full-time.) Arthur helps develop programming and activities, and is usually with one of the three groups; each youth group has four adult sponsors who lead programming, plan the groups, and create relationships with youth who attend.
How are sponsors selected and trained?
Sponsors are called by the Associate Minister after prayer and discernment. Sponsors undergo background checks and child protection training on a schedule set by the Youth Oversight committee, and through the year work together in groups to provide meaningful relationships and activities for youth.
Are friends welcome? Can I just show up? Do I have to be a Disciple, or baptized, or really sure of my faith to attend?
In order: yes, please, and no.
How do I become a part of the group? What if I come and my parents don’t?
You become a part of the group by being a part of the group—show up, be yourself, participate, be yourself, and that’s it. After a few visits, you’ll be asked to fill out a TELLUS card, which is basic information and a few opinion questions; youth will also be asked to return with an authorization form signed by parents so we know who to contact if problems happen.
I have a thousand questions.
And yet you say it as a statement. If you have any questions about the content of this site, how the youth groups work, what we do, if we’re meeting on a specific week, or anything else, please contact Arthur Stewart, Associate Minister, and he will happily tell you more than you want to know, probably. - Contact Arthur
