Christ Covenant Youth

Leader- Jonathan Knappenberger

In 2006 Christ Covenant's youth were given several verses to choose from to print on the back of our new T-shirts. The verse they chose was Jeremiah 29:11.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans for hope and a future."

We studied that verse over and over, and you might say it has become a stepping-stone for the lives of these students. Our youth group is growing in size but more importantly in spiritual heart growth. We see repeated examples of deep questions being asked, decisions being made and life struggles being fought. The students of Christ Covenant are checking out who God is-in a real way. When we see God for who He is and then who we are, the gap is obvious. As leaders we seek to help our students by loving them where they are, teaching them about heart issues and helping them get to know Christ on a daily basis. We seek to teach our teens that God created them just like they are and no matter what they are going through, now or in the future, He has a plan for them. We have a great group that is pulling together to accept and even mentor each other. The Lord is using them to make a difference in their schools and community.

Sundays: Our youth meet for Sunday school in the Youth House (we call it the NIKA house-Greek for "victory and success in Jesus Christ") and separate into three classes. We study different subjects, sometimes books of the Bible and sometimes topics such as a biblical approach to money and stewardship. The three classes are: 7th & 8th grades, 9th grade, and 10th thru 12th grades.

Mondays: Every Monday morning we meet at 7:00 a.m. in the Youth House for a prayer breakfast. We have a light breakfast and a youth-lead devotion to start the week. The students load up to be at school by 7:35!

The Sr. High guys have a small informal bible study at The Knappenberger's house starting at 6:00 ending around 7:00. This is a great time for the youth to bond with each other and learn God's word in a very laid back fashion.

Wednesdays: On Wednesday nights we start gathering at 6:15 at the Youth House. We have a casual meal and at 6:45 we head into the "big room" for praise and worship with our youth-lead praise band. At 7:00 p.m. we begin our Bible study with all ages together and sometimes separate into Jr. and Sr. High. To end our gathering we often have skits or games which usually finishes our evening with a lot of laughter (thanks to our college interns for sacrificing hair and clothes to the likes of syrup and smashed bananas on occasion).
