Youth (Germantown Youth Group)

About us

The Germantown Youth Group is a place where people build lasting relationships. We are a large group of teenagers who enjoy spending time together. There are plenty of ways to get plugged in and stay connected. Whether it’s a devotional, a retreat, or a service project, there are many opportunities for teens to find their place in the youth group. We are attempting to live out the principles that the New Testament church exemplified and so there are three main areas that emphasize within the Youth Group at Germantown. All three of these are present in the Church at its very beginning. (Acts 2:42-47)

It was important to the early Church to GROW spiritually (devoted themselves to the apostles teaching), SERVE others (sold their possessions and gave to those in need) and show their LOVE of all (fellowshipping and eating together in each other's homes). In the GYG, we want to GROW spiritually, SERVE others, and LOVE all.

Grow - We emphasize the study of God's word. The following events are designed to help us grow spiritually: Sunday Morning Bible Class, Wednesday Evening Bible Class, Ultimate Youth Rally, Uplift @ Harding, Lads to Leaders, GULF Youth Experience, Devotionals, Congregational Worship Services, Elisha Summit, Guys Retreats (BROcation), Girls Retreats, Area Wide Youth Devotionals, RUSH @ FHU, and Fall & Spring Retreats.

Serve - We emphasize serving others. The following events are designed to help us serve others: SERVE Memphis, Ultimate Youth Rally, Rake & Run, TAG, Germantown VBS, Mission Trips, Vacation Bible School at Raleigh Springs church of Christ, Treat 'N Trunk, Visits to Kirby Pines Retirement Center, Service Trips, Sweet Hearts Banquet, and Senior Sunday.

Love - We emphasize fellowshipping with and loving each other. The following events are designed to help us love each other: Tuesdays at Germantown (TAG) , Friday Night Stuff (FNS), Mystery Trips, Ultimate Youth Rally, Cookouts, Family Bowling Night, Merry Mug Mix Up, Food Fun & Fellowship Nights and Movie Nights.

ONLINE:SUNDAY MORNING BIBLE CLASS

Reading Scripture Baptismally: In this combined parent and teen class we will dive deep into scripture and look at the importance of baptism and how it influences so much of what we believe and practice as Children of God. Who is God, who are we and how does this influence us and our relationship with God and others. Join us Sunday mornings and jump into the conversation.

ONLINE: WEDNESDAY BIBLE CLASS

Love Your Neighbor- Be Kind on Social Media: How do we traverse our relationships, how do we maintain our own personal identities and how to we follow out that second greatest command to "love your neighbor as yourself?" On Wednesdays we'll be looking at the challenges of living out our faith online and what true Godly relationships look like on social media.

2020 Winter Calendar

The Ultimate Youth Rally is a great way to start off the summer. It’s a weekend experience filled with challenging lessons, uplifting worship, & opportunities to connect with new friends.
