Youth
Minsitry
Growing in faith. Building meaningful relationships. Having fun together. A place for middle and high school students to belong, ask questions, and discover life with Jesus.
Faith grows together.
The programs described below are coordinated by CMC staff and are led by amazing CMC staff and adult volunteers. Their goal is to partner with families in spreading the gospel to the upcoming generation. Their vision is to influence CMC’s youth with the gospel, meaningful relationships, and an undeniably fun environment through our weekly services and small groups.

High School Youth Group in Partnership with Young Life
CMC is partnering with Holland Christian Young Life, which is connected to the Greater Holland Young Life Area and includes students from Holland High, West Ottawa, Hamilton High, and other schools. This gives CMC the opportunity to share the gospel not only with Holland Christian students but also students from other area high schools.
All CMC high school students, regardless of the high school they attend, are invited to Young Life Club in CMC’s Youth Center on Mondays at 8 PM. Young Life Club is similar to youth group, with the Young Life flair of games and humor.

Direct access: Entrance F on the east side of the building
More about Young Life, its mission, and camps
Young Life Fall and Summer Camp is offered every November (a three-day weekend) and each summer for high school students to experience the “best week of their lives.”
Young Life is a parachurch ministry, like Cru, InterVarsity, and Navigators. The mission of Young Life is to bring the gospel to students in and outside the Church.
Young Life does this by going where students are—at school, sporting events, dance ensembles, and other activities— and doing life with them. This style of ministry is called incarnational ministry: sharing the gospel through words and actions by developing mentor-like friendships with middle school and high school students.
