Hey, teens! Eight TNT (Tuesday Night Teens) events and several extended Saturday events are planned just for you this summer (June 30 and August 22). TNT is open to anyone entering 6th grade this fall through those who just graduated from 12th grade; feel free to invite your friends! As long as in-person events can be safely conducted in accordance with public health guidelines, these events will take place outside in a variety of local parks and backyards and teenagers will have to arrange their own transportation. If it becomes possible to use the church van, transportation may be provided for some events.

Teenagers have many opportunities to grow as Christians at Pearce Church. The youth ministry programs help them understand what it means to trust God, discover the joy of a personal relationship with Christ, respond to the Holy Spirit’s guidance, and put their Christian faith into action.
Our Journey Teens programs encourage teenagers to: learn from the Bible; follow Jesus’s example by loving God and loving others; worship God as a regular part of their daily lives; understand what we believe as Christians, why we believe it, and how to explain it; develop a life that reflects the love of Christ.
In each program, teens are guided by Christian leaders who journey with them through the highs and lows of teenage life.
