The Cross youth

Growing together.

Whoever you are, wherever you're from, you are welcome here.

The Cross Youth is our youth group, open to students in 6th–12th grade.
Our youth group meets every Wednesday evening at 6:00 PM.
Students today face many age-old challenges, as well as new and unique issues that are specific to their generation. The Cross Youth provides a community where students can grow in their faith, ask questions—no matter how difficult or seemingly silly—and find a group of students and adult leaders who are ready to support and encourage them through every circumstance.
Our desire is to create a place where students can belong, grow, ask questions, and discover what it means to follow Jesus.

Small Groups

Getting Connected. Going Deeper.

At the core of our youth group is our small groups. After our message on Wednesday evenings, students split up into different small groups based on their ages and sex. Small groups are where we ask questions about the message, get to know each other, and pray for each other in a more intimate setting.

The Cross Youth Events

Family Night

Our youth group meets every Wednesday evening at 6:00. During the school year, this coincides with Family Night when we have a meal, fellowship, worship, a message, and then small groups.

Youth Only Night

The last Wednesday of every month is Youth Only Night! On Youth Only Night, we forego our traditional evening schedule and simply hang out and have fun. We play board games, team games, go roller skating, carve pumpkins, and more.

Together Week

Together Week is our version of summer camp—but we do camp a bit differently.

We spend a week diving into God's Word, worshipping Him, and learning more about each other in Pawnee, Oklahoma, at Camp Lela. We rent out the whole campground. We have separate cabins for boys and girls, and we give our students a special space where they can have fun and get to know each other. We limit distractions so students can focus on their relationship with Christ and enjoy a truly special experience.

Together Week is the highlight of the year for our Youth Group.

The Youth Retreat

Every January, students from the Cross Church Youth kick off the new year with two days away together at our Winter Retreat. It's a weekend packed with worship, teaching, small groups, and plenty of fun, designed to help students slow down, connect with each other, and grow in their faith. Each year we build the retreat around a fresh theme, so there's always something new to discover, even for students who've been coming for years. Whether it's your first retreat or your fifth, there's a place for you here, and we can't wait to see you there!
