Awakening's youth group combines middle school and high school students. They meet every Wednesday night from 6:30pm - 8:00pm. Meetings are paused during the summer months, but several fun activities are typically scheduled during this time to keep the teens connected and engaged.
Our teens are service-oriented! You can always find many of our teens helping with outreach events such as the Easter Egg Hunt, Back-to-School Drive, and Trunk or Treat. They are a great group who love to have fun together, serve others, and learn about God.

- Follow '26
From their website:
"Being known by God is a gift for all mankind, but knowing Him is something we choose as we follow the Spirit’s leading. Once we know Him, the natural by-product is we want to make Him known. Join us December 28-31, 2026, in Cincinnati, OH, as we encounter and experience Jesus and share His love with others."
FOLLOW Conference is a three-day international gathering for youth and young adults, ages 12 and up. Although anyone in this age range is welcome, the conference focuses on middle school students, high school students, young adults, and those who lead these groups. This event is the culmination of all the fundraising the youth group is doing. Learn more about Follow '26 by visiting their website at http://followconference.org
