Youth
The Refuge
Schweitzer’s Youth Ministry is sold out to engage and reach the youth culture where the students are. You will see Schweitzer’s Youth Leaders in the community, at football games, at the schools, at theatre productions, etc.
The Youth meet at a weekly gathering, normally held in the Youth Room on the second floor of Schweitzer. There are times when the youth will meet off campus for various activities and events. We are dedicated to providing a place for youth (6th - 12th grade) to connect with God, with other students, and with older leaders that are dedicated to seeing students grow closer to Christ.
WARNING: For those students who follow the crowd, for those who maintain the status quo, for those whose highest aspiration is mediocrity, this gathering will be harmful to your lifestyle! This year’s journey with Schweitzer’s Youth Ministry will help you in your quest to live a life of purpose, meaning, and faith-driven hopes and dreams!
