Youth

Agape 360 Youth Ministry

360 Junior High: Grades 6^th – 8th

360 Junior High is the name of our youth ministry for grades 6^TH – 8^TH. We have youth ministry every Wednesday at 7:15 pm and Sunday @ 10:45 am

360 Senior High: Grades 9^th-12th
Agape 360 is the name of our youth ministry for grades 9-12. We believe that Agape 360 can cause teens to make a 360 degree turn around in their lives. Agape 360 encourages teens to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and to translate their faith into appropriate attitudes and actions. It is our goal to help youth discover their unique set of spiritual gifts; show them how to witness and minister to friends and family. Wednesday Night Bible Study provides an opportunity for the teens to come together for prayer, study the Word, find encouragement, and provide accountability and spiritual growth.

Then on Sunday’s Come be a part of a service designed just for all the Agape 360 Youth Ministries: Live D.J., powerful drama presentations; relevant discussions and sessions just for you, along with a Teen Help Crew (a group of your peers who can help you through the challenges of life)!

Powerhouse LIVE!

It all takes place the 1st Friday night of each month from 7:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. Come hangout for an evening of basketball, music, movies, food, and much more. For just $10, you have unlimited games, food and fun. We have changed what Friday nights look like. Bring your friends and come see what everyone’s talking about it.

What else do we have to look forward to as teens? As a teen, we want you to become...Prepared for Life! Equipped to Evangelize! A true Disciple! A true Christian Leader! That will make a Difference!

So, we Believe that at this stage of a teen’s life, you need to understand these values:
REAL FAITH: What does faith look like, and why is it important in the life of a student?
WISE CHOICES: Life is more than just asking what is right and wrong....God wants us to ask the question "Is this the wise choice?" What does it mean to make wise choices in our lives?

ULTIMATE AUTHORITY: Who are the people who have ultimate authority in our lives? How should we respond to them, and who should have ultimate authority over us?

MORAL BOUNDARIES: What are the boundaries that God wants us to have in our life, and how do we go about setting those?

GODLY HABITS: God asks us to do certain things that help us to grow closer to HIM: specifically prayer, a quiet time, giving, and service.

GODLY RELATIONSHIPS: Life is filled with relationships. With our parents siblings and friends relationships. How does God want us to handle them?

OTHERS FIRST: In a culture that says that we are the only thing that matters, why does God ask us to put others first? How do we impact our culture by placing their needs above our own?

The teenage years can be turbulent ones, full of self-doubt and angst at the outside world. It’s normal for things not always to be rosy, but sometimes teens can use a little extra help in building their self-confidence. Doing the things listed below won’t magically improve a teen’s self-esteem – and a teenager with low self-confidence may have trouble doing these things – but making the effort… to smile, to say no in the face of opposition… is important. Acting self-confident is the first step to feeling self-confident.

Smiling. People like friendly people – it’s that simple. Plus, even a forced smile will lighten up a teen’s own bad mood.
Good posture. Standing tall not only helps improves how a teenager looks, but it helps a teen feel more secure and puts less stress on the back and shoulders.
Making eye contact. Sometimes a teenager feels painfully shy, but their look says “Back off!” Meeting another person’s gaze -- whether it’s a cute guy or an interviewer - lets them know a teen is approachable and confident.
Being bold. Teens have to be willing to put themselves out there – whether in front of the class or at a party. It will get a little easier each time until the teen starts wondering why being in public was ever a big deal.
Going easy on themselves. Nobody’s perfect, but when teenagers obsess about what’s “wrong” with themselves, they don’t give anyone else a chance to notice all the things that are great. Teens need to remember that almost everyone feels insecure at some point (though not everyone lets on). Self-confidence comes from being able to put a break on that nay-saying voice and and moving on.
Doing what they love. Parents and teens do not always agree on what the priorities should be. But as long as what a teen is doing is not dangerous, a parent should find ways to support what a teen feels passionate about… or at least to get out of the way and let the teen explore. What better boost to self-esteem than being able to do something one cares about well?
Preparing for things. Procrastination is a teen’s favorite friend. But life is stressful enough without teens tripping themselves up. It’s hard to feel self-confident when things feel out of control. When teens give themselves enough time to prepare for that big date, study for that test, write that paper, etc., they find that things tend to go much better and more simply. Time management tips can help.
Being able to walk away, part 1. Sometimes teens who lack self-esteem or have low self-confidence are willing to put themselves in situations that they know aren’t good, just to gain another person’s approval. Teenagers need to learn to stop and trust their cautious side. Teens need to know they can always try things like sex and drinking later, when it’s more appropriate, but if they do something they regret, it can’t be done.
Being able to walk away, part 2. Some people only give someone the time of day if that person is doing something for them. No teen should be willing to be a doormat. Sure, it might lose them some friends, but those “friends” are not worth the trouble.
