Grades 6-12
Sunday Mornings | Bagels and Bible Study!
The first thing to be aware of is that we do not have Sunday School Classes after our worship service. BUT, we have scheduled regular times for our Middle and High Schoolers to be released from the service at 9:45(ish) to connect and to do a quick Bible study. Weβre calling this time, Bagels and Bible Study!
Students who are in 6-12 grade will be dismissed from the service (out the back doors of the sanctuary) and head right down to the youth room, where they will grab a bagel and head out on the Youth Patio and have a Bible study that is based on our Sermon text of the day.
Students will be released from our worship on the following Sundays:
July 5
July 19
August 2
August 16
September 20 (Regular Sunday School Resumes after the worship service)
Wednesday Night
Youth Group
(6:30-8:00 PM )
Our hope and prayer for this summer is that we continue to build an intentional youth community that enjoys spending time together. This includes, of course, our students and volunteers, but also our families; you are part of the Youth Community as well, and we invite you to be part of these summer activities!
Since we have a high school trip in mid June and the Church campout at the end of that month, this schedule will begin on Wednesday, July 1, 2026.
Our Monthly Summer Rotation
Week 1: Backyard Bash!
From 6:30-8:00 on the back lawn
Weeks 1 and 3 are the same basic plan. On these Wednesdays, we will be holding βBackyard Bashesβ on the back lawn (behind the youth room). Weβll offer outdoor games, snacks, and seek to delight in one another through outdoor play! Weβll start this time with a liturgy of recreation, asking God to be amongst us as we play Ultimate Frisbee, Four Square, Kuub, and cornhole, etc. These 1st and 3rd Wednesdays in particular are intended to be for our whole BCC Youth community. Parents, siblings, and friends are welcome and encouraged (though, of course, not demanded) to attend!
Week 2: Game Nights
From 6:30-8:00 in the youth room
Every second week, weβll meet inside instead. These βgame nightsβ will focus on tabletop games, from card game classics like Uno, Mau, and Swoop, to board games like Ticket to Ride and Catan, and possibly even some dice-based story games! Again, weβll start with a prayer, dedicating our time together, focusing our intentions on being a reflection of Godβs community. Our hope is that by offering a different kind of βplay,β all of our students feel welcomed and included. As with weeks 1 and 3, the extended community is welcome to participateβ¦parents, siblings, and friends are welcome and encouraged (though, of course, not demanded) to attend!
Week 3
See week 1!
Week 4: Worship Night
From 6:30-8:00 in the youth room, occasionally moving to the sanctuary
These evenings will be a little different from the other events in our rotation. Weβll be gathering not only for fun and fellowship, but also for worship through music.
Throughout the evening, weβll play music together, giving students the opportunity to sing, play along, and develop new musical skills. Whether they are growing as instrumentalists or vocalists, or learning how to operate the church sound board and other technical equipment, students will have the chance to gain hands-on experience. Weβll spend some focused time working on a specific song before transitioning into a more open music session.
For logistical reasons, the music development portions of the eveningβincluding instrument instruction, sound board training, and equipment useβwill be available exclusively to our youth participants.
We meet in the Youth Room each week. Students can enter the building at the youth end of the building.

Take some time to tend to your soul by engaging in spiritual practices, simple prayer exercises, utilizing an online devotional, daily reflections on the Bible, and use our playlist as a soundtrack to your spiritual journey.
