Our mission is to glorify God, love and equip the next generation with the Gospel, and train up young people that are grounded, excited, and committed in their faith.
Welcome to our youth group at Mt. Vernon - Elevate Youth! This is a vibrant group of young people in grades
6-12 who are passionate about living life to the fullest in Christ. At the heart of our mission is the desire to glorify God, and we achieve this by creating a place where fun and faith come together. Our weekly gatherings on Wednesday nights during the school year serve as a time for us to come together, share laughter, and dive deep into God's Word. We want to see students come to saving faith in Jesus, and then grow in that same faith. Our dedicated Youth Directors and Youth Advisors are committed to helping students navigate their spiritual journey, guiding them to become faithful, lifelong followers of Jesus. Beyond our weekly meetings, we organize exciting monthly youth activities that build community, as well as retreats in the Spring and Fall, and an impactful Summer mission trip. We would love to have you join us and enjoy faith, fellowship, and fun!
When do we get together?
Wednesday Nights
Every Wednesday night during the school year, we meet downstairs in the youth room! We have some games, and then worship starts at 6:30 pm. From there, we break out into middle and high school groups!
Youth Activites
Our youth group gets together for a fun activity every month! This can be anything from bowling, to a lock-in, water wars, and whatever we come up with next! Some of our most exciting activites are our Disciple Now in the Spring, and a trip to the Hearts on Fire Youth Conference in Pigeon Forge, TN in the Fall. Over the Summer, we serve together on a youth mission trip!
