WHO WE ARE
Renew is a Youth Ministry that aims to shepherd students away from the ways of this world and towards the faithful following of Jesus Christ with the prayerful hope that their lives will be forever transformed - for the good of their eternal souls, the glory of God, and the spreading of His kingdom.
WHO WE SERVE
Renew Youth Ministry is for students in both middle school and high school. While we know there is a large gap between a sixth grader and a twelfth grader, we love to see how keeping them in the same ministry provides unique opportunities for friendship, mentorship, and service.
WHEN WE GATHER
Sunday Mornings
9:00am in CE 14/15
We meet together each Sunday morning of the school year to worship and study the Bible. We'd love to have you join us as we work our way through the entire Bible. This year we'll be working through the book of Acts as well as a number of the New Testament letters.
Wednesday Nights
7:00pm in the Gym
We gather on Wednesday nights to study God's Word in small groups or hold Christ-centered discussions in big groups. We also always aim to have fun alongside our pursuit of being transformed into Christ's likeness. The calendar of events can be found here.

Renew Answers & Questions: (Coming Soon)
Blogs on Evangelism & Apologetics:

How to share your faith in school or at work when those spaces are culturally “off limits” for religious discussions? Let’s learn some things from missionaries to closed countries.
Are science and faith at odds? The world wants you to believe it is, but the truth is different.
Building conversational bridges is important in sharing Jesus with others in today’s culture. Hope is one bridge Peter says will be a productive one.
Can you really say “so what?” when someone challenges Christianity? Maybe not directly, but there are really good reasons to avoid being drawn into debates about topics that don’t have any impact on someone getting to know the truth about Jesus.
