The Youth Advisory Team “Youth A-Team” is a team of youth, young adults, and adults that seek to grow disciples of Jesus Christ through planning awesome events, conferences, and mission opportunities for the youth of the Presbytery of Arkansas! Each A-Team member serves for one school year (June-May) and can re-apply perpetually as their schedule allows. To apply please contact Elizabeth Cahoon.

All youth are invited to serve as liturgists during any of our three Sunday worship services. The liturgist in a worship service leads the congregation in a variety of spoken pieces of worship, such as; the call to worship, prayer of confession, assurance of pardon, or scripture readings. Student liturgists will train with Elizabeth and Randy as they prepare to lead our congregation in worship. All materials will be provided.

All youth are invited to light candles (acolyte) and carry the Bible (beadle) and processional cross (cross bearer) into the sanctuary at the beginning of 11:00 a.m. worship service on Sunday mornings. Students interested in this unique leadership opportunity will train with Elizabeth and Randy as they prepare to lead our congregation in worship.

For any students who want to learn about pastoral care, there are many opportunities for you to serve our other youth. Are you interested in bringing a meal to someone’s home, watching a peer’s football game, or packing a care package for a friend? Then this will be a great way for you to give back. You will be contacted when your help is needed.

Our church basketball league season runs from January to mid-March. Teams will be formed based on interest. We hope to have multiple teams this year for girls and boys. Games are usually twice a week.
