Youth (Germantown Youth Group)

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.

Connect to God- 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 Others - 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 Everyone - 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.

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. For the past seven years, youth groups from around the area have come to Germantown on Labor Day weekend to be a part of the Ultimate Youth Rally.
