ALC Youth

Our heart is to disciple students, equip parents, and encourage families.

ALC YTH is the Student Ministry of Abundant Life Church. We are passionate about reaching the students in our community and building connections with families. We gather together every Wednesday to have fun, cultivate community, and pursue God together! ALC YTH is specifically resourced for 6th to 12th-grade students.

Our goal is that ALC YTH provides a place for students to know their purpose, find their people, and walk in God-given power.

Sundays

We call Wednesdays the “best night of the week”! Our doors open at 6:30pm where students can connect with each other and meet new friends. We then move into our worship service and message for the night. Most Wednesdays end with our students breaking up into their gender and grade based small groups (i.e. 6th grade girls) before opening up the gym for free play or the gym lobby to hang! Students are picked up and dropped off at the gym lobby. We ask that students be picked up no later than 8:30 pm.

We have a Middle School Bible Study during all three of our Sunday Services. Students will meet a youth leader in the sanctuary lobby after worship. At the end service, the students will come back to the sanctuary lobby.

FAQs

  • Nope! All students will check-in in the lobby once they are dropped off. Newcomers will fill out a connect card if they have not previously attended a YTH service.

  • We love our newcomers! We have each new student fill out a simple connect card (name, grade, address, contact) and then we connect them with their small group leader and a student. Parents are welcome to walk their student in to drop them off, however this is not mandatory. If you have any other questions for your first-time student please reach out to us at yth@myabundantlife.com!

  • ALC YTH is run by a team of amazing adult volunteers each week! Every adult that serves with a Next Gen ministry (Kids, ALC YTH, or Young Adults) does have a completed background check on file with Abundant Life Church and has been through ALC’s Child Portection Policy agreement.

  • While Wednesdays are the best night of the week, we do have more happening at ALC YTH! Every 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month we offer a Bible Study at the Stephens City Starbucks from 3:30pm-4:15pm. We also have a Middle School Bible Study during all three of our Sunday Services after worship.

  • We have two main ways to connect with parents: our weekly email newsletter and our Parent Connect Facebook group. We would love for you to sign up and join our ALC YTH Parent Community!
