Welcome to TLCxYTH.
TLCxYTH is a great way for students in grades 6-12 to connect with each other and explore all kinds of deep questions about life. We're all about creating a safe, inclusive, and fun environment where students can really thrive, grow in their faith, and make a real impact on the world. Most importantly, we want students to know that Jesus sees them and loves them deeply.
When do we meet?
TLCxYTH meets during worship on the first, second, and third Sundays of each month. Once students arrive at Woods Charter School, they’ll immediately go to the meeting space for youth. Look for the signs; someone will help you get there!
What To Expect
We know joining a new group for the first time can feel awkward. But once you’re there, it’ll feel like you’ve always been a part of it. Students will first gather in our meeting space immediately upon arriving at church. We will hang out, play games, and hear a message just for students. We'll talk, discuss, pray, and learn more about each other and God. Students will typically return to the main worship space to participate in Holy Communion with the rest of the worshipping community.
Our Philosophy
At TLCxYTH, we “think orange,” which means we believe that church (yellow) and family (red) can be two of the biggest influences in a student's walk with Jesus. By bringing the two together, we create community around a timeless message that mobilizes the next generation to love God and serve others.
