5 Ways to Support Journey Youth:

Journey Youth Ministry has an incredible group of students getting ready to set off to camp! We believe that camp can be a  life changing experience for many young people - as we come together to seek the presence of the Lord. However, our students need your help - our goal is to raise $4,000! If we can reach this amount, it will cover the travelling and registration expenses for the entire youth group!

Ways to support our teens: 

1. Perform or Attend During Open Mic Night - 
Solo Act Registration - $10 
Group Act Registration - $20
General Admission - $15 
Our goal for this event is to create a greater sense of community, have quality family fun, and raise funds for summer camp. The first act will take the stage at 7pm on Friday, May 24th.
The stage will be open to the community, but all acts must be church and family appropriate. We reserve the right to deny stage time to acts that do not follow this standard. 

2. Make a pledge for the Walkathon -
Our students will walk from 8am to 8pm (12 hours) on May 28th to raise money for camp. Pledges can be given by hour, mile, or as a one time donation.
However, there are more ways to support our youth during this event than financially giving. Some ways may be: donating snacks, preparing lunch, or by joining us for a while during the Walkathon to encourage our students!

3. Make a Donation - 
If you are interested in financially supporting a teen or making a donation to the group as a whole - please contact Sophie Graves at sophiegravesncc@gmail.com. 

4. Sponsor a Project - 
We have incredible people that are stepping up to sponsor projects at the church. An example of this is that a donor has funded the youth to fix and repaint the deck at the church building, and because of their hard work, has gifted a donation toward the overall fundraising goal for summer camp! 

​5. Please be in Prayer for our Students -
We are expecting the Lord to do phenomenal things while we are at Camp! We would appreciate it if you would be in prayer for our hearts to be tuned into what God is trying to do while we are away, that each of our students and leaders has a personal encounter with the Lord, safety in traveling, financial provision, pray against spiritual attacks and distractions, that His favor will be over our efforts as we put on several fundraisers, and most of all, that the Lord is glorified in all that we say and do. 

​Dear Parents and Students, 

It is the vision of Journey Youth Ministry to train and encourage young people to be bold leaders for Christ. Our students and leaders work together to create an atmosphere that is welcoming, engaging, and safe where young people can seek the Lord with confidence.

Journey is always adding new things to the calendar. It is our goal to host a service project or group activity specifically for the youth students each month. Some of the things we have planned for 2019 are: Nerf Night, a Lock-In, remodeling the youth building, performing a Human Video on main stage, and a Fall Retreat. The prayer for each one of these events is that our students will be able to build stronger friendships with one another, be challenged in their walk with Christ, and learn to serve well. 

It is exciting to see the ways God has already been working through the Journey Youth Ministry, and I believe that the best is yet to come! Consider this your invitation to join in on what He is doing at Northside Christian Church. We would love to meet you!
